bug#32507: 27.0.50; text-quoting-style

[Helmut Eller]

There is no option to disable quote substitution in format-message.  In
other words, there should be a value for text-quoting-style for which
the following assertion does not fail:

(let* (;(text-quoting-style '<something>)
       (x "'`´‘’‚“”„")
       (y (format-message x)))
  (cl-assert (equal x y)))

Seems to work for me with <something> == grave.

Yes, indeed.  I even had written a loop to try all possible values; must
have been buggy.

Sorry, for the noise.

Well, it's hard to blame you because the value that makes this
possible is non-intuitive.  Perhaps we should have some more intuitive
alias, like 'literal or something.

Thanks, I'm closing the bug.
