The main point is that grave quoting `like this' is not right in user-facing documentation.

Can a script like the one you used to batch-convert the graves and straight quotes to curly quotes be made a part of the documentation generation section in the Makefile?

That way, the source code can remain plan ASCII with ` and '. But when we build emacs, the generated user-facing NEWS file now has the curly quotes. That way we have a consistent ASCII source code for NEWS and user-facing NEWS with curly quotes (generated at build time).

WDYT?
