Comment (by Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvr@…>):

 In [changeset:"018676c7f883886b388652c913c99a10d2591b0b/ghc"]:

 #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc"

 Use U+2018 instead of U+201B quote mark in compiler messages

 This matches GCC's choice of Unicode quotation marks (i.e. U+2018 and
 U+2019)
 and therefore looks more familiar on the console. This addresses #2507.
