Subject[Csnd] String notation in the manual
The manual seems to notate strings in two different ways, with or without quotation marks.


Just searching Sfilename I do get handful of results


As Steven pointed out on the csound slack channel, very often it's quoted


I'm bias for choosing Sstring instead of "string" due to easier programatic access on the manual, but I can admit that quotation marks offers better readability. Do we want a concensus on either of these, or perhaps just continue with useing both versions of notating string types?
