Sure, but why not have them literally, so that reading the doc string
in the code will also be easier.  Like this:

  (defun menu-bar-scrollbar-mode (&optional mode)
    "Cycle through scroll/truncate/resize modes for GTK menu bars.

  If the optional parameter MODE is specified then apply that instead.
  The new mode is stored in the variable `menu-bar-scrollbar-mode' via
  the custom interface (but not automatically saved).

  Returns the new MODE.

  NOTE: pass 'default if you want to set the mode explicitly to nil.

  See `menu-bar-scrollbar' in Info node `(elisp)Layout Parameters' for details."

Thanks.
