For the reason I gave: I copy and paste code from those
sources.

[A bigger bother is copying and pasting code or help
text from Emacs (e.g. `*Help*' or Info) to other
contexts where, say, `...` is used.  For example, I
often paste `*Help*' output into emacs.StackExchange
answers, and I spend time replacing each curly left
and right quote by `.  (Before the change to curliness
I had only to replace the ' by `, e.g., change `foobar'
to `foobar`.]

Thanks, for that.  Copy + paste and (perhaps) search
are the biggest bothers, I think.
