That's not really the issue -- this is always about .el files, but it's
about how to handle text in different contexts.

For instance, you may have a mail buffer with code that's generating
mail headers, so you have a structure that contains

(("MY-NAME-IS" "ASIL"))

and you have code that's supposed to generate, from that, a header that
looks like:

My-name-is: Asıl

The code has to know that the former bit is a "protocol string" and the
latter bit is a "language string".
