That sentence would be very confusing to the uninitiated. Outside of a code
snippet, perhaps you should use the quoted form of the command like this:

> I had the same problems until 'quoted form of' arrived.

And the meta-fun continues with this line of code:
    set q to quoted form of "quoted form of 'quoted form of'"
    --> "'quoted form of '\\''quoted form of'\\'''"

Yikes!  :-)
