Comment (by simonpj):

 * D3925 seems to be be saying that a literal string should never be
 wrapped in certain sorts of ticks.  Fine if that's so.

 * But D3925 only makes Lint reject more programs (I think).  So how will
 it help here?

 * The invariant above says that top-level literal strings can't be
 surrounded by ticks of any kind.  And indeed that's what is tripping the
 Lint error we are seeing in this ticket
