Yes, that's where the documentation was technically incorrect to write “'integer”. The valid value is not ‘'integer’, i.e., ‘(quote integer)’; the valid value is just the symbol ‘integer’. Similarly for the other examples you gave. This is a minor technical documentation error that is not likely to confuse many people, but I figured I might as well get it right while fixing things in the neighborhood.
