Nowadays you need to escape literal apostrophes in docstrings
like this:

result = some_function_that_takes_arguments(
     \\='a\\=', \\='b\\=', \\='c\\=',
     \\='d\\=', \\='e\\=', \\='f\\='
)

Setting `text-quoting-style' to grave will prevent you from getting
bitten by automated curly-quote substitutions in help buffers (but
of course won't help you to remember to escape things when writing
docstrings).
