So if we want this to become our default, we need changes in ispell.el, to replace ’ with ' before we sent it to the speller.
Although a change like that might make sense, it appears to go beyond what's needed for doc strings. I was thinking of something more modest: change Emacs so that if you're editing an Elisp or C string, then when you type `like-this' it's by default changed to ‘like-this’. This would not need to happen everywhere, but it would be the default when editing Emacs source code because we'd put the appropriate setting into .dir-locals.el.
Or were you thinking about spell-checking doc strings? If so, I don't see how changing the quoting style affects how the spell-checker works. It wouldn't affect the way I spell-check code, anyway. Could you give an example?
