Yes, but it was a follow-up to "the doc is not detailed enough". I trim
my mails, because it makes reading easier, but the context still
matters. Should I leave more of it, even for conversations over the
course of just a few hours?

doc/utils.texi starts with:

# @chapter Syntax
# @c man begin SYNTAX
# 
# This section documents the syntax and formats employed by the FFmpeg

# @anchor{quoting_and_escaping}
# @section Quoting and escaping
# 
# FFmpeg adopts the following quoting and escaping mechanism, unless
# explicitly specified. The following rules are applied:

It looks like exactly what we want.
