I find this:
@item -Q "@var{characters}"
@itemx --quotestr="@var{characters}"
Set the quoting string for justifying. The default value is
@t{"^([ \t]*[|>:@}#])+"} if extended regular expression support
is available, and @t{"> "} otherwise.
Here the quotes inside @t seem redundant, as the whole @var is already
quoted.
Similarly in other instances of @t.
So I still don't understand why you need the quotes. (Feel free to
disregard, if you are annoyed by my persistence.)

And it's the right thing, since the quotes in that case belong to what
should be typed, i.e. they are part of user input.
