It's enabled, but the variables that configure it make it inactive by default.
I'll try to make this clearer in the documentation.

We can certainly hold off on the .dir-locals.el part for a bit, to see how it
works for developers who want to try it.

I just now configured a terminal to refuse to display curved quotes, and when I
used it Emacs displayed "‘like this’" as "\u2018like this\u2019" with
underscores below the "\u2018" and the "\u2019". I could easily change it to
display it as "`like this'" with underscores under the "`" and the "'", if you
think that'd be a win.
