I don't see how this is true, though, because there are many examples of 
single quotes in the .pdf learning manual (for example) that are *not* 
smart quotes.  Look at section 2.1.1 on page 11, for example, where c' 
e' g' e' appear with nice straight single quotes. How can one account 
for these straight quotes in the .pdf version if texi2pdf replaces *all* 
single quotes with smart quotes?
