My take: If there are no single quotes inside, use '. If there are
single quotes inside, use $$. If there is $$ inside, use $x$ (or some
other short sequence, not the function name). This conveys the
decision process we made when we designed this feature. If there are
several related examples in one section, use the same method for all.
