That's a valid complaint.  The @table command only takes the built-in
formatting options such as @code, @samp, etc.  I've worked around this in
the rest of the documentation by using

@table @asis
@item @qcode{"XX"}
@end table

and putting the @qcode macro down one level.  However, I think we might be
able to just re-define the qcode macro to avoid what looks like recursion
in macros.texi.  I'm trying that out right now.
