Well, while I don't quite understand the whole "hatin' on quotes" thing,
I think Paul's arguments makes sense. But we should document this in a
forward-looking manner. We should say that Emacs in the future may do
random substitutions of characters in the first string of `message' and
`format', and that the only way to get things untranslated is this:
(format "%s" foo)
And, please, then stick to that, and not start doing at-our-whim
translations of the rest of the arguments. :-)
