I don't understand how this would better than using backquotes `like-this` (or even simply keeping it `like-this'): - Isn't the curved single quote character *really* hard to type? (I don't think I even know how to type it on my keyboard). - Also, aren't curved single quotes only used to display code quotation in compiled info files, not in .texinfo sources (by this I mean that nobody actually has to type curved quotes)?
