Sergiy--
I've also been bitten by left single quotes on many occasions, and
usually use :subinstr for one string or -filefilter- for one file to
replace them with safer similar-looking characters higher up in the
ASCII set. Of course, if one is processing a string option in a
program, the unmatched left single quote never shows up, but reading
with -file-, you can run into virtually anything.

No news so far and it seems that "smart programmers" would indeed
prefer to always use compound quotes and be in fact `"smart
programmers"'. But how about this?

. local a "first`=char(96)'second"
