Use ASCII syntax for quoting variable names

[phikal]

Not sure if this was intentional or not, but since the quotations were inconsistent, this would revert everything to the conventional syntax.

I thought curly quotes are the new standard syntax?

(elisp) Documentation Tips says

 Documentation strings can also use an older single-quoting
 convention, which quotes symbols with grave accent ` and apostrophe
 ': `like-this' rather than ‘like-this’.  This older convention was
 designed for now-obsolete displays in which grave accent and
 apostrophe were mirror images.  Documentation using this convention
 is converted to the user’s preferred format when it is copied into
 a help buffer.

which I didn't actually know about. This is actually the first time I have seen curved single quotes being used, probably because the older ones are easier to write. If you don't want this, I can also update the patch to revert the old syntax to curved quotes.

I think comments uses the ASCII quotes and we don't need to change it. Honestly I just enable electric-quote-mode and let it decide, because IIRC it defaults to the, well, default convention of Emacs.

I actually was not familiar with ‘electric-quote-mode’. I’d say that makes these changes superfluous. Feel free to close the pull request.

Cool!

There might be issues with using fancy quotes starting with Emacs 29: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2022-05/msg00324.html

Grrrr, ok, I'll change the quotes (and update my configuration and live with mixed quotes in config files and my other packages). I'll do that in like 2 weeks.

Pushed the change :-)
