commit 6fb75f225b8e1b02f81416fe1b987197a37648ef
from: schwarze <schwarze@openbsd.org>
date: Sun Jan 18 16:38:01 2026 UTC

Slightly iprove a confusing wording in the parse.y manuals:
The things that need quoting are not necessarily "argument names",
and not even necessarily "names" at all, so just talk about "arguments".

"I guess?" florian@ and no objection from otto@, both back in July 2025.

Actually, the quoting rules are more complicated than the text makes
believe, but i do not know how to better describe them.  It may not be
easy because some suspect the implementation may be somewhat adhoc
rather than based on cleary defined lexical rules.
