There is never any purpose in using double single quotes this way in the manual,
AFAICT.
Maybe Eli will correct me. If Eli checks this and he agrees with you, then I'm
OK with it. Otherwise, I maintain that it is not helpful to use ``...'' in the
manual.
I am not the expert on the formatting conventions for our manuals, but this
seems odd to me.
