Maybe I just haven't run into them, but I haven't seen curved quotes
inserted into the source of any docstrings. I keep writing them with `
and ', and they get displayed as curved quotes on the Help buffer
(which looks fine to me).
If it's happening, then I am against this. But, just to be clear, I am
very much in favor of *displaying* them as curved quotes on Help
buffers by default (which is what I thought we were doing now).

I'm in favor of displaying quotes as curved by default. But I'm
against using them in the actual source (although they don't bother my
workflow).
