GR>That the name property uses double quotes is a historical accident.
GR>In Inform 1, the `name' property used double quotes, and you wrote
GR>#w$word or #n$word instead of 'word' (according to whether 'word' was
GR>already in the dictionary or not).

So if I want another property that puts words in the dictionary, I
definitely have to use double quotes? Okay, fair enough.

GR>So it's wrong, but it's too late to change.

Well, you could add to it so that you could use either method, just for
sticklers for neatness like me - but I guess it dosen't really matter
that much!
