Subject: bug#31597: 27.0.50; Annoying ' to ’ translation
Date: Fri, 25 May 2018 22:46:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2d0xjwjj2.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Executing this command:
emacs -Q -batch -eval "(error \"can't parse input\")"
prints
can’t parse input
I would expect to see "can't parse input" instead.
Had I wanted to see a "can’t parse input" in the output, I would have
written "can’t parse input" in the source. Emacs should not do this
translation by default; this new behavior is a misfeature.
It's extremely annoying that the behavior of such basic functions as
error and message has changed so drastically from previous Emacs
versions. People who like this automagic translation should be forced
to customize text-quoting-style not the people who want the traditional
and much more predictable behavior.
