Well, yeah, this implies a user knows what "a lisp symbol" is. I like
your suggestion to include the quote:
> How about "use quoted value 'font-lock-comment-face directly
> instead"?
I'm wondering whether "directly" makes this sentence any more clear or
maybe it's excessive? So like, maybe just "use quoted value 'font-lock-
comment-face instead"? Also, "the value" may be ambiguous here (because
`foo` is a value and `'foo` is a symbol, so we kind end up overloading
the meaning in the sentence) so maybe even make it shorter: "pass
'font-lock-comment-face quoted instead"? (FWIW, english isn't my native
language, Idk if the sentence flow sounds okay here)
