Comment(by miqrogroove):

 @Denis It's a semantic nuance.  It literally says %% is treated as a %
 literal.  It doesn't say that a bare % is not treated as a % literal, or
 that %' is not treated as %', or that all % literals must be converted to
 %%.  Among those phrases, they chose the most ambiguous one ;)

 @hakre Please explain what you're getting at?  Why in the world would
 %%'string value' ever appear in a query?
