I don't think you actually need quotes (or "named") at all; just
the field @var{count}
in place of
the field named "@var{count}"
would suffice. But if you use quotes (for an English-language quotation,
as opposed to when the quotes themselves are part of programming-language
source code given in the manual), in Texinfo you should use ``'' rather
than "".
