If I were conscientious in writing about m4, I might choose to use \(oq and \(cq to assure pretty typesetting. It would be a disaster to have both come out as apostrophes in -T ascii. Knowing that, I could use \(aa and \(ga instead. Still, this is a cautionary tale. What other sorts of documents would suffer badly under this change?
