The fat-comma is also worthy of study.

Yes, this is something I use a great deal.
However, I pretty much always quote the LHS to aid clarity despite knowing that it is not necessary for alphanumeric strings.

    I pretty much always leave the LHS bare to aid clarity. If I see an alphanumeric string quoted before a fat comma it means I have to pause and wonder why the author did that just in case there is something that I might have missed on first glance. Avoiding the quoting effectively removes the question of why it is quoted.
