In the new NEWS in the recent pretest, at L1381 we have: ** To avoid confusion caused by "smart quotes", the reader no longer accepts Lisp symbols which begin with the following quotation characters: `'�""�� � � , unless they are escaped with backslash. ^^^^ , which leaves it unclear whether it's the "smart quotes" or the Lisp symbols which need escaping. I suggest replacing "they" with either "these quotes" or "these symbols" depending on the desired meaning. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
