I like the fact that even this seemingly harmless statement on the
stackoverflow thread invites (light-hearted) controversy:

    Double quotes will wear your shift key out faster :)

The response is this:

    Not on Azerty, buddy.

And, yes, I am quoting via indentation here.  But quoting is not a
"gotcha".  Not in the least bit.  Anybody who says "quoting is a
gotcha" just doesn't understand how simple this whole quoting business
is.  Quoting is completely straightforward.  "Just read the specs," I
think some wise person said earlier in this thread.  They're
completely correct, of course.  No gotchas here.  Move along...
