This shows that Unicode quotes consistently look good, while the others
look antiquated at best. The single apostrophes on both sides ('like
this') is also okay, but still worse from a typographic standpoint.
IMO, we should automatically display in comments and docstrings whatever
quote character the user prefers according to `text-quoting-style', and
automatically insert the correct quote character when typing "'".
At least for docstrings and messages, what would be even better than any
markers is to display prose in a variable font and code (including
symbols, of course) in a monospace font, with no markers. That is the
style used elsewhere, and it is clear and avoids visual distractions.

Are you looking for `text-quoting-style'?
