Maybe, but on haskelldoc@ it emerged that single 'quotes' might be
good for distinguishing code snippets in comments (mostly single words;
larger snippets should be on separate lines and indented) - for an
automatic tool which makes hyperlinks to entities referred to.
Yes, it looks confusing (but unambiguous) when the name ends with '.
OTOH double quotes are used for generic quotations, so perhaps single
quoting ('', not `') could be a universal convention for embedding
language's identifiers in ASCII coded text.
