"(elisp) Syntax Table Functions":

[..]
     The following examples apply to C mode.  (We use ‘string’ to make
     it easier to see the character returned by ‘char-syntax’.)

          ;; Space characters have whitespace syntax class.
          (string (char-syntax ?\s))
               ⇒ " "
[..]

I guess that ‘string’ should be "string".

Why do you think so?  How is the use of "string" in the example
different from "char-syntax", about which you didn't complain?

Oops, sorry!  I thought that was an example of quoting used below, now I
realize it's a function name :-)
