That's a good move. Great!

Your mitigation,

Let me add more C++ tests to gnulib, so that such errors become apparent
when compiling a testdir created with the option 'with-c++-tests'.

Sure, but *all* quotes are dangerous for programmers and technical
users. :-)
If you don’t want smart quotes, you can set LC_ALL=C in your environment.

Hi,
It seems GNUlib quote encoding goes to Unicode smart quotes, which causes
command-line program output to be in smart quotes.
Smart quotes are dangerous for programmers and technical users, and should
be avoided in program output.
Originally noticed with wget -
The xstrtol module provides a xstrtol_fatal function which uses other
modules suitable mostly for command line handling (e.g. gettext,
getopt), and that are completely unused when using only xstrto*
functions. Furthermore, xstrtol_fatal is used only in the xstrtol-tests
(within gnulib itself).

Hi,
I noticed that using the xstrtol (or any of the other xstrto* modules
using it) drags a lot of other gnulib modules, 39 more to be exact
including dirname-lgpl, error, errno, getopt-gnu, msvc-*, etc.
The reason for this are:
- xstrtol.h includes getopt.h, which in turns requires getopt-gnu,
