In text mode, for example, the single quote has syntax "w p", which
means that it's half-way between a word constituent and a prefix char.
More specifically, when at the beginning/end of a word, it's not
considered as part of the word, but it can appear in the middle of
a word.
This makes capitalize work correctly for things like:

   i can't believe he said 'hello' !
