As I saw the (subjectively) ugly new quotation chars already being used
in Emacs commit messages, I finally took the time to learn how display
tables work. So for all people who actually like how the old-style
quotation looks, this is how to replace visually all new-style quotation
with old-style:
(let ((tbl (make-display-table)))
(aset tbl 8220 (vector (make-glyph-code ?\" 'default)))
(aset tbl 8221 (vector (make-glyph-code ?\" 'default)))
(aset tbl 8216 (vector (make-glyph-code ?\` 'default)))
(aset tbl 8217 (vector (make-glyph-code ?\' 'default)))
(setq standard-display-table tbl))
While we're on the subject of modifying the source code purely for
aesthetics, I wanted to bring up the subject of Elisp indentation rules.
But then I saw http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20323, from
which it appears that the problem is solved for two months already
(although without a NEWS entry). Thanks to Dmitry for the change. There
are still issues of `lisp-indent-function' being inferior to
`common-lisp-indent-function' in some cases, but I can report them
later.
