- <para>
- In messages containing configuration variable names, do not include quotes
- when the names are visibly not natural English words, such as when they
- have underscores, are all-uppercase or have mixed case. Otherwise, quotes
- must be added. Do include quotes in a message where an arbitrary variable
- name is to be expanded.
