I find this inacceptable behavior. Why should printing one thing print something entirely different from what has been specified? I've learned that there is a `text-quoting-style' variable that controls this behavior, however both its docstring and the corresponding news entry suggest that there is no way to disable the post-processing. On top of that they don't mention that the simplest way to make things look like they previously did is to set it to `grave`. Is there any reason this is not documented? More importantly, if that is the truth, why is there no flag to disable that post-processing?
