bug#21588: 25.0.50: Single quotes becoming curvy quotes in message function

[Kaushal Modi]

Thanks for the reply. 

Among all the noise about curved quotes, I missed out the discussion about text-quoting-style. I started paying attention to that only recently when Paul reverted curved quote stuff in the documentation.

I should have looked at NEWS; sorry about that.

I got my answer; I need to set text-quoting-style to 'straight.

For reference,

(progn

  (message "text-quoting-style = default")

  (let ((text-quoting-style))

    (message "'Hey'")

    (message "`Hey'"))

  (message "text-quoting-style = curve")

  (let ((text-quoting-style 'curve))

    (message "'Hey'")

    (message "`Hey'"))

  (message "text-quoting-style = straight")

  (let ((text-quoting-style 'straight))

    (message "'Hey'")

    (message "`Hey'"))

  (message "text-quoting-style = grave")

  (let ((text-quoting-style 'grave))

    (message "'Hey'")

    (message "`Hey'")))

gives

text-quoting-style = default

’Hey’

‘Hey’

text-quoting-style = curve

’Hey’

‘Hey’

text-quoting-style = straight

'Hey' [2 times]

text-quoting-style = grave

'Hey'

`Hey'

I'm not sure what else there could be left to say.
