Not by me, FWIW.  

It's not just about symbols.  We mention key bindings
in doc and comments, and those can contain space chars.
Likewise, we sometimes have other quoted char sequences
that contain space chars.

It's true that we haven't, so far, fontified things
like `C-x 4 f' in comments.  But we do fontified them
in Info and doc strings (albeit now using curly quotes).

E.g. in (elisp) `Disassembly' there's this: 'dup varset',
which is fontified, even though it contains a space char.
And in (elisp) `Keymap Basics' there's this: `C-f C-n'
which is fontified.  It would be good to do the same in
Lisp comments, IMO.

If you're really looking for something that would really
improve things - and not only for a beauty contest (but
yes, more beautiful too), then let's work on doing that.

Bring back `...', and fontify the delimited text even
when it's not a "symbol".
