Good points both. Perhaps it would be nice to introduce a quoting
function that follows the user's preference without our having to
type directed quotes in the Elisp source code. This could be a new
format flag `, e.g.,
(format "Cannot open file %`s for reading", "foo.c")
could follow the user's preference for quoting, returning
"Cannot open file ‛like this’ for reading"
in your preferred environment.
