I would hope! It seems this is not very well documented in the Emacs
manual.

Not really in this case -- I was writing a function which analysed the
code. More precisely, given that the point was somewhere in a string,
the function decides whether it's a docstring or not. (It is part of my
SLOC counting library.) But I agree, it *was* clear where the problem
was. But thanks anyway!
