Er, I failed to do that before this went to press (as commit fbdfd927
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=fbdfd927>), but I think
it's a great set of refinements and clarifications.

If I had to quibble, I'd wonder whether, in a coding rather than a typesetting
context, "neutral apostrophes" is a better descriptor than "single quotes." 
Programmers are certainly more used to calling them single quotes; and even to
noncoders, either term should be understandable.  Also, as delimiters for
strings, they function semantically more as quotes than as apostrophes.  At
this point in the manual, there shouldn't be reason to worry that users might
interpret "single quotes" as U+2018 and U+2019, since it has previously
established that groff code is limited to Latin-1.
