[Shalom] Consider the case where you want to pass in a string literal
which contains ". You do have `" in the macro text, but you want the
literal to contain ".

[Shalom] I think that is exactly the example in the LRM. \" is used in a
$display format specification. But if you enclose \" (instead of `\`")
inside `" pairs, then you get back to the problem of `" followed by ".
