<title>Why are some values in <filename>recovery.conf</filename> surrounded by pairs of single quotes?</title>
<para>
This is to ensure that user-supplied values which are written as parameter values in <filename>recovery.conf</filename>
are escaped correctly and do not cause errors when <filename>recovery.conf</filename> is parsed.
</para>
<para>
The escaping is performed by an internal PostgreSQL routine, which leaves strings consisting
of digits and alphabetical characters only as-is, but wraps everything else in pairs of single quotes,
even if the string does not contain any characters which need escaping.
