#13149: Function names used as default parameters are incorrectly quoted in
documentation

This shows up in #11785. We define a function,
{{{
def string_length(expr):
"""
Returns the length of ``expr`` after converting it to a string.
...
}}}
And then use that as the default for another function's argument:
{{{
def simplify_rectform(self, complexity_measure = string_length):
r"""
Attempt to simplify this expression by expressing it in the
form `a + bi` where both `a` and `b` are real.
...
}}}
In the docs, the `string_length` function appears quoted, which makes it
look like we accept a string for the `complexity_measure`:
{{{
Type: builtin_function_or_method
Base Class: <type 'builtin_function_or_method'>
String Form: <built-in method simplify_rectform of
sage.symbolic.expression.Expression$
Namespace: Interactive
Definition: f.simplify_rectform(self, complexity_measure='
string_length')
Docstring:
...
}}}
