Hi,
I was troubleshooting a friend's .emacs issues with the help of some
internet assistance. When I copy/pasted people's suggested .emacs
entries, some smart quotes got into the file, causing error messages.
You can see the whole process of how this happened here:

I think it would be good if emacs looked for smart quotes in .emacs
files and gave a warning or notice if it detected them. This would
help troubleshooting.
