Using the syntax with quotes is rather ugly, I agree. But it is
nonetheless potentially useful for two reasons:
(1) it enables us to use numbers etc. in variable names
Why would that be desirable?
Well, speaking just for myself, I use roman numerals in \textI, \textII,
... \textVII which is rather clumsy and error-prone
(IV versus VI etc.)
This is just a convenience factor, but \text1 ... \text7 would be
nice, but I see that this leads to major problems in terms of
durations vs. variable calls.
Just my 2 cents,
Marc
