Here's the whole paragraph from which this quote is taken:

  A string enclosed between '$'' and ''' is processed the same way as the
  string arguments of the print builtin, and the resulting string is
  considered to be entirely quoted.  A literal ''' character can be
  included in the string by using the '\'' escape.

It's talking about $'...'. Both the documentation and the
implementation are correct.
