I can't say the original is wrong. Since these quotes don't have
"open" and "close" versions like {} or () pairs does, people often
use ` as opening and ' as closing - while staying within ascii.
Alternatives are things like « » or other things, but these aren't
ascii anymore. So I'd say keep it alone... ;)

Agreed. For example, latex uses ` and ' as opening and closing pairs.
That does look a bit weird for C and shell users ;)
Thanks,

In some fonts, ` is actually symmetrical to '.
If you change it to 'background_thresh', it will look like crap in my
Sütterlin emacs.

m4 too.

Just because they aren't used to it;-)
And shell scripting would be easier if shells had different opening and
closing quote characters.
