   This should be @itemx, not @item (since this is in a @table).  Or did
   you intend to remove "@item quit"?

Yes, you are right.  It's my typo.

   I think "without single quotes" is ambiguous.  I suggest "not
   including single quote characters @samp{'}" instead.  I also suggest
   to use @samp, not @code here.  A bare @code is IMHO not suitable for
   character constants, as it lacks the delimiting quotes.

I agree.

   I don't see the rationale for this change.  Could you please explain?

Look at the printable copy.  Single quotes around `-Tsection address'
looks better.
