Oops. I meant to write "quotes", not "braces". It should be:

Does this mean that both curly quotes, in Emacs Lisp doc strings,
will appear as ' on a terminal which can't display curly quotes?
That's a total screw. Developers using such a display
will not be able to distinguish the two.
If they display as ` and ', editing will be feasible once
you understand the convention. If they both display as ',
it makes no sense to try this even as an experiment.
