I think the problem is in the wording: t and nil are neither keywords,
nor numbers, nor strings, which is why they aren't treated as
SELFQUOTING. IOW the wording shouldn't say "including" but make it
clear that these are the (currently) only accepted selfquoting entities.
E.g. vectors (and friends) aren't considered as SELFQUOTING by
pcase either.
