Seeing that again, I see this in the proposed log message:
Full pattern must be quoted. So 'pat"t"ern attr' will give exactly
'pat"t"ern', not 'pattern'.
I cannot tell what it is trying to say. The code suggests something
quite different, i.e. a line like this
"pat\"t\"ern" attr
would tell us that a path that matches the pattern
pat"t"ern
is given 'attr'.
The log message may need to be cleaned up. The update by that
commit to the documentation looks alright, thoguh.
