What more info were you looking for?

Yes, Emacs now uses ‘foo’, not `foo'.  And?  How
does that change/nullify the enhancement request,
which was to _highlight_ the text that's quoted?

So yes, "the problem still exists".

FWIW, my code that supports this has been improved
greatly since this bug was filed in 2012 (and it was
already fine for this).

If you want to see the effect quickly then just load
info+.el and visit a manual such as the Elisp manual.

I won't waste anyone's time with details, as I know
you'll ignore them anyway.  But if anyone (else) is
interested the code is here:

And doc is here:

The doc about highlighting quoted names etc. is here:
