I might have written '"auto".' (the '.' is not part of the behavior
name).  But while grammar guides are starting to concede this style,
they still admit that for a long time English used to always put the
trailing '.' of a sentence inside the "", regardless of whether the
quoted material originally included a period at that point or whether it
was just the speaker ending their sentence on quoted material.

I might have dropped the two inner () pairs.  But that's cosmetic.
