The use-mention distinction wormed its way into my brain, too. It
passes through that space every once in a while. Changed the way I
conceptualize programming, especially XPL (PV vs. GT, 3byte vs 5
byte chars, SX vs SV, really a core concept). Not surprised that it
stuck with others too... Often wonder how linguists approach it.
