Indeed. We will need an unambiguous escaping mechanism either way.

Would someone please just pick one? It seems the exact choice of this
mechanism is irrelevant to the choice of which quotes to use.
The obvious approach is to use backslashes, but then you'll have to use
four of them to escape a single quote character in a docstring.

And then when we switch to a different rendering, we'll be stuck with
the curlies anyway, for compatibility reasons.
A font-lock solution is nicer because it doesn't require any changes to
the public Lisp API.
