Comment:
I avoid discussions involving the word "unicode". I'm certainly not in
principle opposed to the change suggested above, although I worry a bit
that it might give us a new portability headache.
The comment I wanted to add is that the bracketing single-quotes in GHC's
error message are (pretty much without exception I think) added by a
single function, `Outputable.quotes`. So if someone figures out the
details, actually making the change should be easy.
