good question.  A confusing comment line in the generated configure
is not severe enough.  Let's put it off after 2.60.

Just for records: the generated configure contains
--- snip ---
trap 'exit_status=$?
...
    echo
    # The following way of writing the cache mishandles newlines in values,
(
--- snip ---
The comment is the first line of a longer comment, and thus doesn't make
much sense.
This might be confusing, but probably does not clasify as a bug.

The first sentence is good.  The last one hopefully is not true; the code
of the trap uses sigle quotes happily.
I don't know whether sigle quotes in comments might cause problems; I agree
I should not test it now.  It's a matter of taste whether they look ugly.

Let's resolve this after 2.60.

Have a nice day,
