I would just strike entirely the following part of the proposal:

"A string literal embedded inside a macro will not replace macro
arguments or embedded macros within that string. For example:

`define y rightside
`define noreplacement(x) "x: `y"
initial begin
   $display(`noreplacement(left side)); // Macro argument x and embedded
macro `y are not replaced.
end

results in the follow code:

initial begin
   $display("x: `y"); 
end"

This is covered in the text added in Mantis 1119, just before the
paragraph, "The 'define macro text can also include `", `\`", and ``."

Then the text flows logically. First, it says that substitution does not
occur in string literals. Then it says that there is `" and explains how
that works. Then it says what happens if they are mixed.

Shalom
