There's no mention of the QUOTING_STYLE environment variable on the ls man page or help output. What about changing
     --quoting-style=WORD   use quoting style WORD for entry names:
                              literal, locale, shell, shell-always,
                              shell-escape, shell-escape-always, c, escape

to something like

     --quoting-style=WORD   use quoting style WORD for entry names:
                              literal, locale, shell, shell-always,
                              shell-escape, shell-escape-always, c, escape
                              (overrides QUOTING_STYLE environment variable)

Which both hints that the environment knob exists and specifies their precedence.
