With DISABLE_AUTOFORMATTING=true, it is correctly quoted,
and there is no "workaround".
Without DISABLE_AUTOFORMATTING, the autowrapping (and ignoring
of "manual" format information by not quoting) is obviously
intentional.
Maybe, it would be more natural to have the opposite as the default,
but this is how the eclass works from its very beginning.
