I don't understand how this would better than using backquotes
`like-this` (or even simply keeping it `like-this'):
- Isn't the curved single quote character *really* hard to type? (I
don't think I even know how to type it on my keyboard).
- Also, aren't curved single quotes only used to display code quotation
in compiled info files, not in .texinfo sources (by this I mean that
nobody actually has to type curved quotes)?
