Oh, but the diagnostics are part of the source code, of course. I was
not so confused after all.

I know that docstrings are displayed with curly quotes. My point (and I
think Dmitry's) is that the change should end there. Maybe *transform*
the diagnostics too, but that's no so important, because diagnostics are
not intended to be part of regular reading by users.
