Yes, but a much smaller part. And solving the problem with quotes
doesn't require to solve the more general one.

I understand. I'm just saying that adding a backslash between the
U+2019 quote will not significantly improve the situation, because
Emacs Lisp uses backslashes in many other situation, like ?\", and
therefore the mere fact that there is a backslash doesn't necessarily
alert the human reader to the existence of an unusual character.
