> "Multibyte" is a guess, I don't really know the underlying reason.

> (format (propertize "`foo' %s bar" 'face 'bold) "xxx")
>   => #("`foo' xxx bar" 0 13 (face bold))

> (format (propertize "‘foo’ %s bar" 'face 'bold) "xxx")
>   => #("‘foo’ xxx bar" 0 10 (face bold))

> Length of the string is the same in both cases. In the first example
