Which is not a problem; the case command performs quote removal on each pattern in the pattern list, while ensuring that the quoted characters are quoted appropriately for the pattern matcher. https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=985 talks about quote removal in the pattern list, but that got removed in the updated resolution.
