I don't think a shell is required to do it. Remember the problem I
had told you about:
foo="`something with a "quote" mark`"
in which ^ this would match ^ this?
This is just another instance of the same problem, with a different
quote mark.
Maybe we should set ac_backquote and ac_singlequote upfront, and use
it in error messages instead?

What do you mean? In what sense would this help?

Nope.
