There are other self-evaluating Lisp objects besides strings, so the
following idea occurred to me

    (defun foo ()
        ;; (Optional) doc string for old emacsen.
        "mumble toto titi"
        ;; (Optional) doc vector for new emacsen,
        ["mumble " (propertize "toto" 'face 'highlight) " titi"]
        ;; ...or like this,
        [html "mumble <emph>toto</emph> titi"]
        ;; ...or this,
        [texi "mumble @emph{toto} titi"]
        ;; etc.
      BODY...)
