"Name" sounds like a string. "need not" sounds like it is up to the
user whether he quotes it or not. Is this really correct or is it
true that it must not be quoted? Of course, the same problems apply
to the docstring from which the above quote was copied.
What about:
This macro creates a new generic mode. @var{mode} (an unquoted symbol)
is the major mode command.
Sincerely,
Luc.
