I thought so as well. However, it also says:

# ILLEGAL MACRO OUTPUT CHARACTERS
# This option allows you to specify illegal characters that are
# stripped from macros before being used in notifications, event
# handlers, etc.  This DOES NOT affect macros used in service or
# host check commands.

Just in case the comment was false, I tried removing the " from this
list to no effect.
