By the way, GCC recently reached the consensus that '' and "" were
appropriate quote marks, and that `' should go away.

[Although I think they also decided that `' should be left in the
source and transliterated by the output routines; that way we can
generate proper quotes in locales which have them. Or maybe that the
real Unicode quotes should be used in source and transliterated to ''.]
