Oh sorry, I was looking for a spec, so I somehow assumed I can ignore the
gory implementation details just like I routinely ignore things like
headers and footers of emails.

There's two thing I don't understand here:

* What does it mean to preserve the string verbatim? No matter how I read
it, I can't tell if it's with quotes or without.

Maybe I'm missing some context.
