[Ian Gilfillan <launchpad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE, SHOW CREATE FUNCTION and SHOW CREATE TRIGGER 
articles were documented with the change:

The output of these statements is not affected by the 
sql_quote_show_create server system variable.
(see for example 
https://kb.askmonty.org/en/show-create-procedure/revision/18704/18357/)

I've reverted this, as this is not strictly-speaking true. The output is 
unreliably affected by the variable. In my testing, the output of ALL 
procedures was quoted when the MOST RECENT procedure was created with 
sql_quote_show=1, and the output of all was unquoted when the most 
recent procedure was created with sql_quote_show=0.

A related bug is:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=12719
but that bug report doesn't fully explain the (current) situation. The 
bug was also noted as "can't fix" in the comments.

I didn't want to document the above without further testing (will the 
quoted status of functions being created affect procedures? Triggers? 
Events?), so just reverted for now, but it's worth further investigating.
