But so far, it seems to be hard-coded. E.g., in `describe-function'. I looked at NEWS, but I found only advertisements for the touted new-&-improved behavior - nothing about how to get back the classic one. Oh, I did find `electric-quote-mode', which (sensibly) is turned off by default. But that apparently makes no difference - I still see curly quotes substituted for the longstanding, sane behavior. Please tell us how a user can turn off this purportedly optional curly-quote behavior - everywhere. Oh, and please put this info in the Emacs manual, as well as NEWS. The only index entries for "curly quote" tell you how to *insert* them, using (1) `C-x 8 RET' (`Inserting Text') and (2) `electric-quote-mode' (`Quotation Marks').
