I completely agree. I often search sources using "`" and "'" in a
regex. Now it's hard to type that in.
Additionally, I actually like to see "`" and "'" displayed. So if there
was an option to turn off "‘" visually, I would do it in my config.
Currently, there are only 253 lines matching "‘", but they are already
touching some files that I care about. And more are to come, since even
the style guide was changed:
;;* When a documentation string refers to a Lisp symbol, write it as
;; it would be printed (which usually means in lower case), with
;; single-quotes around it. For example: ‘lambda’. There are two
;; exceptions: write t and nil without single-quotes. (For
;; compatibility with an older Emacs style, quoting with ` and '
;; also works, e.g., `lambda' is treated like ‘lambda’.)
