I agree.  Personally, I'm always surprised when quoting does anything
other than suppress splitting, globbing, and special characters in
patterns.  For instance, I can never remember this pitfall mentioned
in workers/52666, even though (I think) I understand why it happens:

	% print ${:-{}x}
	{}x
	% print "${:-{}x}"
	{x}
