I'm using:
(defun insert-hyphen-or-two ()
(interactive)
(cond
((or (bolp) (not (looking-back "'")))
;; insert just one '
(self-insert-command 1))
((save-excursion
(backward-char)
;; Skip symbol backwards.
(and (not (zerop (skip-syntax-backward "w_")))
(not (looking-back "`"))
(or (insert-and-inherit "`") t))))
(t
;; insert `' around following symbol
(delete-backward-char 1)
(unless (looking-back "`") (insert-and-inherit "`"))
(save-excursion
(skip-syntax-forward "w_")
(unless (looking-at "'") (insert-and-inherit "'"))))))
(global-set-key [39] 'insert-hyphen-or-two)
