_______________________________________________________
Details:
Recently (and at long last) GNU tools have begun migrating away from using
grave accents and apostrophes as if they were mirror-symmetrical quotation
marks.
For example, GNU diff has stayed within ASCII and simple uses "straight"
single quotes (apostrophes) to mark literals within diagnostics:
diff: missing operand after 'nonexistent'
diff: Try 'diff --help' for more information.
GCC has gone even further and uses actual Unicode quotation marks.
src/devices/grolbp/lbp.cpp: In member function ‘void
lbp_printer::setfillmode(int)’:
src/devices/grolbp/lbp.cpp:390:5: warning: this ‘else’ clause does not
guard... [-Wmisleading-indentation]
else
^~~~
src/devices/grolbp/lbp.cpp:393:7: note: ...this statement, but the latter is
misleadingly indented as if it is guarded by the ‘else’
fill_mode = mode;
^~~~~~~~~
As groff does not appear to be internationalized, and local detection and
message catalogs would be necessary to quote in the GCC style, I propose to
follow GNU diff's example.
