The choice to not repeat the fact that string literals in PostgreSQL are
always written with surrounding single quotes (or dollar-quoting if one so
chooses) does not seem problematic, especially given the explicitness of
the examples. Much of the documentation rightfully assumes one has read
and memorized the syntax for writing a literal constant.
