Actually, I think the general convention is to NOT quote type names
in error messages. Certainly that's so when using format_type_be()
to produce a name for a not-known-at-compile-time type. I would
argue that these messages should be written to look the same as if
format_type_be() had been used, and that would mean leaving off
the quotes.
