Actually, both ` and ' have special meanings in Emacs Lisp, but it is
conventional to use this combination in this way as quotes. Type,
for example, C-h k C-n. Then you will see a lot of such quotes, eg.
in `next-line-add-newlines'.
Maybe an analog could be Java. In Java code, < is less than and > is
greater than, but in a Javadoc comment, <foo> is an HTML tag.
Does that make sense?
