It feels wrong as these are not English words, or phrases, but strings
with context dependent special meaning. In my case, these are action
keys in my organisation denoting specific processes.
I also found this English.SX answer:
http://english.stackexchange.com/a/3471
It mentions:
[...] referring to the concept behind the word [...],
as one of the use cases for single quotes.
