What is far more important is that the string that follows the ~ operator is not a text constant - it is a regular expression, so you can e.g. set that string to "e....1" when matching on the interface name and ether1 will still match (but so would e. g. ester1 or eeeee1). Why the name~ether1 (without quotes) doesn't throw an error is beyond my understanding.
BTW, off topic, what "more precise wording" do you suggest to distinguish the command or keywords mentioned within a sentence from the rest of the sentence, given that the quotes may be part of the syntax?
