I noticed this use of the grave accent and apostrophe characters as a way to imitate directional quotes:

scons: `.' is up to date.

See here for why this is a bad practice (written 1999): https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html <https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html>

It should use either identical apostrophes, or Unicode directional quotes.

Should I send a Pull Request? (If so should I use Unicode?)
