Please make clear that this variable (which should be a user
option, BTW) has *no effect* on Info (manuals, the most extensive
documentation).

The current doc string can easily give the impression that it affects
also Info.  Users do not necessarily distinguish the manuals from
what this doc string really means by "help".

  "Style to use for single quotes in help and messages."

Done (text-quoting-style was meanwhile already changed to a defcustom).
