It is a bug, no matter how the self-appointed oracles at openoffice.org
disguise it otherwise.  The software, on Linux systems at least, cannot find
a leading apostrophe.  Someone came up with what is merely a workaround but,
because fixing bugs is too hard, it has been elevated to the status of
"feature".  Because it is not really a feature, it is undocumented.

One day, someone will pose a new problem for them by asking for the
"feature" to be documented.  There will be the usual delaying tactics,
half-baked responses and brush-offs and everyone will muddle on.
