Sort of. It comes from the use of @samp{z}'s or similar in Texinfo.
The important part is that this looks right in the printed version of
the manual; the emulation we do in Info is less important. So if the
Texinfo source uses @code{s} or @kbd{s} or anything but @samp, leave
the apostrophe alone; if it uses @samp, remove the apostrophe. That's
because @samp produces single quotes in the printed copy as well,
while the others don't.
