The fix that you propose was already discussed, albeit as part of a larger 
change (the one that Eli pointed to, namely enabling character folding by 
default).  And Eli was, IIRC, in favor of it.

Do you think it would be useful to have a specific hack for just ` vs ‘?  I'd 
find it very confusing.

Maybe we can come up with a more limited version of character folding, and 
enable that by default?  This should solve this problem, right?
