Not really a duplicate, IMO.

One of the things #24842 asks for is _documentation_ for users writing doc
strings:

1. Tell them about the behavior - preceding quoted symbols with "function" etc.
2. Tell them how to override the behavior when inappropriate, effectively
   "escaping" an occurrence of a word such as "function" that would otherwise
   cause the symbol that follows it to be handled incorrectly.

Do you need a separate bug report for just this part (doc)?
