Excecpt that this addition to the doc string is larger (and more
complex) than the changes needed to add and document an optional
target-system-type parameter :-)
But I agree that this would suffice, and maybe a shorter doc string
would be sufficient [Don't give an example -- this is for lisp
experts anyway]... Maybe this is enough:
The variable `system-type' determines the kind of quoting performed.
