I'm only talking about rc.conf, where the examples (AFAIK) always use 
quoting.  It's probably a shortcut around having to explain quoting 
things that contain whitespace.

Okay.  Let me put it this way: examples should be consistent, not just 
in a section but preferably across a whole book.  That said, leaving 
these unquoted is not the worst possible thing ever.
