 error symbol @code{error}, and a list containing the string returned by
 @code{format-message}.
 
-The @code{text-quoting-style} variable controls what quotes are

-with only apostrophes typically generates a message like @t{"Missing

-One way around this problem is to bind @code{text-quoting-style} to
-the symbol @code{grave} around the call to @code{error}; this causes
-@acronym{ASCII} quote characters to be output unchanged.
