Good catch!

Interestingly it renders as a standard ' quote in the shell these days,
but converting to PDF at least, introduces the non copy and pasteable
curly quotes.

So I've added a s/'/\aq(/ and pushed.

p.s. I just diffed the latest help2man and there was nothing
significantly different or useful.  We can sync that up easily
at some stage in the future.
