Just to add another data point: I didn't know the new convention and
always used `...' in elisp code comments because it felt like the right
way simply because it got highlighted and I had symbol-completion
enabled after typing the ` in a comment. And I wouldn't have considered
code comments in elisp files to be in the came category of plain-text
documents like NEWS or ChangeLog.
I don't consider `...' to be ugly but in the end I don't care as long as
the style going to be used for quoting symbols in code comments is
supported by font-lock and completion. In his regard, I do consider
`...' or the markdown-style `...` to be quite good because they are
seldomly used in prose or for emphasis in contrast to '...' reducing the
likelyhood of false-positives.
