Again, that's not what I asked. I asked whether _all_ references to
these keys in doc strings should be quoted. If the answer is YES, I
guess that means we will soon see changes to that effect all over the
place in the existing code, and we should comment on patches which
don't do that to tell the contributors to do so. Right?
