Maybe we could say "The var(string) is quoted as noted above",
referring to this earlier sentence

Note that expansions must be quoted in the var(string)
to prevent them from being expanded before globbing is done.

Which is not incorrect, but you need to quote other things too,
*(e:):) is an error for example (a different error than *(e:\):) ).

It's weird how long you can stare at some stupid little thing and not
come up with a good concise way to write it down. Do we really need to
note the quotes at all? We already said that var(string) has to be
quoted. :)
