If you have a stack of N elemments, why replicate a field N times if all
the N instances always have the same value?

There's nothing to be pushed or poped with quote_style, so having it in
the stack is confusing to the reader (one has to infer the property "all
instances have the same value" by reading the code instead of having
just one variable), and error-prone for the author: you already got
it wrong once.
