[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I copied the wrong snippet.. But in general I saw many instances of quote
fixes in doc strings in that merge commit.

Also I do not see curvy quotes in the Help buffer that opens when I do C-h
f font-lock-add-keywords. I am on emacs built on that big merge commit
yesterday.
