Yep, I hadn't read it closely enough; it's certainly

Clearly.

It turns out that it wasn't the definition of
local_domains that was the problem, but I'd been caught
out by the fact that the domains = option in a director
is expanded immediately. I don't understand why it works
when I use the <# syntax, though.

(Ah. I think it's because ${quote_mysql:$key} -> $key,
as is a special case; ${quote_mysql::$key} -> :$key, which
then yields a SELECT statement with the : still in it. So
it's not actually applying the quote_mysql operator where
it should, it just appears that it is. So not a
documentation problem, it's just more complicated than I'd
realised.)
