Depends what you do with it.

Exim requires you to quote at the point of use, since different services
require different quoting. So there are ${quote_foo:...} expansion
operators for various foo. For Exim's own parsing, ${quote:...} is
useful, for putting the string into double-quotes as needed.

"inetOrgPerson, posixAccount, top"
