[bug #62638] maybe call U+0027 a "single quote" in some contexts

[Dave]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #62638 (project groff):

My gut feeling (not always to be trusted) is that "neutral apostrophe" is a
term more for the typeset version of this character that doesn't really exist
as such in traditional typesetting, but must be accommodated in modern
technical typesetting because the character in those contexts can't be
transformed to any traditional glyphs.

Bug #62816 and the recent "grout" discussion
(http://lists.gnu.org/r/groff/2023-04/msg00040.html and the next 20 or so
messages in the thread) show how much people love to offer opinions about
terminology, so taking this to the list could prompt some lively discussion as
well.
