This, please.
`...' was _long_ the practice, and a very good one.
Simple to fontify, simple to search for, not very
confusable with anything else. Simple, easy-peasy,
straightforward.
It was the practice in the Emacs, Elisp and Eintr
(and more) manuals. And in doc strings. And in
Lisp comments. So simple.
Then came the curly-quotes decorator wave against
a perceived (by some) primitive ugliness... And
now it seems nothing's defined - things are
apparently up for grabs.
An unfortunate change was made, despite (at least
some) expressed disapproval. And now it's all
"bike-shedding" - a free-for-all. Have at it.
