At this point, I'm thinking of using AS_LITERAL_HEREDOC_IF plus one

that these strings should be double-quoted for project-generic code
(such as automake), but an individual project that follows stricter
rules (such as coreutils version string always being a single shell
word) can get by with referencing AC_PACKAGE_VERSION outside double quotes.
Considering Automake does
AC_SUBST([VERSION], ['AC_PACKAGE_VERSION'])])
I think that's fine, but since you are at it you should also check for
single quotes.
