[thelist] semi-OT: logrotate config file syntax

Somehow never noticed this before -- many (but not all) logrotate(8)
man pages show the syntax for multiple files as:

"/var/log/httpd/access.log" /var/log/httpd/error.log {
 ...
}

WTF is the rationale for the quotes on the first entry? And if there is
one, how does it apply to listing more than two entries?

TIA,
