Don't use \samp when \code is better.
Consistently use ' instead of ": this conforms to my unofficial stance that constants should be presented using the repr() whenever it makes sense. This isn't because I think repr() is the greatest thing since spam, just that it's an easy to adopt consistency standard. (It also holds no new surprises!)
