New Comment:
The word "escaped" was added to the return description, but "quote" is fine here
as the function is named preg_quote(). The overall description clarifies the
behavior of this function.
Thank you for the bug report.

IMO the terms "quote"/"quoting" are absolutely fine here.
Cf. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoting_(shell)>.

Description:
------------
There is a wrong description for function preg_quote at http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-quote.php:
Description:
> preg_quote â Quote regular expression characters
Return value:
> Returns the quoted string.
Correct description:
> preg_quote â Escapes special characters used by regular expression. Name of this function
> is wrong, it has nothing to do with quoting.
Correct Return value:
> Returns the escaped string.
