No. I'm now working on improving it. Please wait for a while.

I think `' should not be displayed by U+2018 and U+2019.
Unicode defines them not as balanced quotes. Using them as
balanced quotes is abuse of characters as far as we follow
Unicode.
Considering the long standing convention, I don't suggest to
stop this abuse. But, at least, we should not disturb
people who use those characters correctly in the sense of
Unicode by displaying them with characters of different
semantics.
