Subject: bug#31815: 27.0; Inappropriate use of curly quotes in `info.el'
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2018 10:31:00 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4cce0ca1-f9d1-41cb-a2a2-e54464aa2626@default> (raw)

In `info.el' there are three occurrences of this (these are curly quotes,
in case that doesn't come through in the bug-report system):

  Index for '%s'

They were all changed from this text:

  Index for `%s'

The latter text should be restored.  There is no reason to burden these
contexts with those Unicode curly quotes.  That just makes it harder for
a user to save the buffer text, requiring her to use a Unicode-friendly
encoding.

NOTE: I searched the top level of the Lisp sources, and it appears that
this problem is present there only in `info.el'.  It might also exist at
levels below directory `lisp', so that possibility should be checked.
