Hi,

It seems GNUlib quote encoding goes to Unicode smart quotes, which causes command-line program output to be in smart quotes.
Smart quotes are dangerous for programmers and technical users, and should be avoided in program output.

Originally noticed with wget - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?57356#comment1

Can you change it to use only regular typed " quotes , at least with STDOUT / STDERR ?

Thanks,
