That would do the wrong thing in other places.  We have doc strings with stuff 
like this:

   This is like `(let ((v ,EXP)) ,EXPS) except that `v' is a new generated

which is why I'm leery about allowing ` within strings quoted `like this'.

Which means the source would have to say "`\\''" and the backslash would have to 
be removed before showing the result to the user.

Ouch!  Let's keep things simple if we can.
