In order to differentiate (to see) the ticks (from single quotes) it
is not feasible to ask users to change their fonts, when there would
be a posix alternative $() that would work in any environment.
The $() also nests, whereas the old style doesn't. Person's looking at
the code would therefore learn the better alternative.
