If you look a little further up in the page you will see:

"The nl_langinfo() function accepts one of the following keys. Most
descriptions are taken from the corresponding description in the GNU C
library."

I agree that the descriptions of the constants are a bit confusing, but
the fact that it says "return" instead of saying that it is _is_ a
string should be a clue that the item itself is not a string. 

A doc patch would certainly be considered if you see a way to make it
more obvious.
