Although it may not be ideal, neutral quotes are adequate typography here, and
are certainly better than transforming all four quotes into right single
quotation marks. And although Emacs diagnostics use directed quotes to quote
symbols and other code, the situation is not as clear for quoting other things
so I have been conservative and have generally left these other quotes alone if
they are neutral. It'd be fine with me if you were bolder and changed them to
be directed.

Electric Quote mode would leave the apostrophes unmodified in the above example.
A user who really needs the string to contain four right single quotation
marks (something that ordinarily would be inappropriate) will need to enter the
characters manually, yes.
