Looks like putting punctuation inside %s is not normal. By looking at other
hint messages, they usually do something like:
```
errhint("Perhaps you meant the option \"%s\".”, value)
```
Yes, this is because the punctuation is itself subject to translation.
(Most obviously, different languages use different quotation marks.) So
the preferred style is something like
errhint("Valid encodings are: \"%s\", \"%s\", and \"%s\", "hex", ...)
or however many you need.
