I just got a copy of the control msg for this bug, saying
that it has been closed (I haven't received the usual help
msg for the bug filer saying that it was closed, however.)

The bug report was about the occurrence of such curly quotes
in the Lisp sources (`info.el'), not about their appearance
in Info files.  So your reply does not make sense to me.

I don't know an easy way to find all such occurrences in the
Lisp sources, since such chars cannot be searched for using
the `grep' I have.  There may well be other occurrences,
in subdirs of dir `lisp/'.

Bug #31807 has additional information about why this is
problematic: in some contexts one cannot easily copy+paste
source code that contains such chars.  In bug #31807 I
describe how I was bitten by this when trying to submit
a bug report.
