That's reductio ad absurdum, so of course nobody has suggested that.

And again, nobody has said it's a catastrophe, but it's an unnecessary
annoyance.

I think we've been over all the issues here several times, and my stance
is that we should continue to use `...' (as we have for decades) to
quote Lisp symbols in .el files in doc strings and in comments.  (I'm
not particularly interested in all of the other side issues that have
come up in this thread.)

If you don't agree, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
