Here's a random message selected from building GHC:
Warning: Defined but not used: `res_ty''
(the identifier is "res_ty{PRIME}", where {PRIME} is the ' mark)
Note that quotes are left:` (grave accent) and right:' (ASCII single
quote). Besides this being theoretically incorrect, identifiers can
include the ' symbol (generally meaning more like "prime" than "single
quote"...), making this look odd. Maybe it should show the
identifier-string so that it just has ordinary double-quotes around it?,
looking like:
Warning: Defined but not used: "res_ty'"
