I'd like to change the implementation to use ordinary forward single
quotes.  The backtick is not a quotation mark - it looks ok in some
fonts (eg. the X11 misc fonts), but not in others.  There's an article
somewhere on the web that describes why backticks should not be used as
single quotes, I can probably dig it up if anyone's interested.

I'm aware that GHC is a serious offender here :-)

Any objections to changing this in Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ?
