For the reason I gave: I copy and paste code from those sources. --- [A bigger bother is copying and pasting code or help text from Emacs (e.g. `*Help*' or Info) to other contexts where, say, `...` is used. For example, I often paste `*Help*' output into emacs.StackExchange answers, and I spend time replacing each curly left and right quote by `. (Before the change to curliness I had only to replace the ' by `, e.g., change `foobar' to `foobar`.] > Using these characters does have its downsides, so we > use them as little as possible in the sources. Thanks, for that. Copy + paste and (perhaps) search are the biggest bothers, I think.
