This is a manifestation of the simplistic parser. It thinks that
strings and numbers are distinct. mark, since it needs to handle
complicated values, requires strings. And a number isn't a string.
There are many things that could and should be improved in the parser.
This one seems easy to live with so I suggest fixing the manual so
that users don't get surprised.
