My preference is for makeinfo to by default emit ‘foo’ in info files -
i.e. use the Unicode characters 0x02018 "left single quotation mark"
and 0x02019 "right single quotation mark".

The info reader can optionally change these to `foo' or 'foo',
depending on user preference, if reasonable fonts aren't available.
