Here's the whole paragraph from which this quote is taken:
A string enclosed between '$'' and ''' is processed the same way as the
string arguments of the print builtin, and the resulting string is
considered to be entirely quoted. A literal ''' character can be
included in the string by using the '\'' escape.
It's talking about $'...'. Both the documentation and the
implementation are correct.
