That would do the wrong thing in other places. We have doc strings with stuff
like this:
This is like `(let ((v ,EXP)) ,EXPS) except that `v' is a new generated
which is why I'm leery about allowing ` within strings quoted `like this'.
but if the apostrophe were quoted, it'd have to be escaped: `\''.
Which means the source would have to say "`\\''" and the backslash would have to
be removed before showing the result to the user.
And it's not very simple, but a regular expression can distinguish between an
escaped and an unescaped character.
Ouch! Let's keep things simple if we can.
Not a big deal indeed, but consistency would be preferable IMHO.
OK, I installed commit f743819b57ef519109c1b9d520d358d19a197086 to do that.
