   Only yesterday I was working with code containing quotations.  What jumped   
   at me (which I'd known from previous experience) is what a PITA they are to   
   document.  Unwieldy?  You couldn't pay me enough.  I'd rather work with   
   :NONAMEs (lesser of the nameless evils).  Even H.P. Lovecraft was forced to   
   name his.  What use is a god that doesn't have a name?
