One more thing: while I think many people find "`foo'" is visually ugly,
the number of people who find "don't" ugly is probably much smaller.

So I don't see a strong need to go through extra efforts to convert
"don't" to "don’t".  I'm not even sure if "don’t" is typographically
better than "don't" (after all, last I checked the little thingy is
supposed to be an "apostrophe", not a "right single quotation mark").
