Thanks.

I did a search on "future history"

    git grep 'future history'

Except a result in Changelog, everywhere else uses `` and ''.

 doc/emacs/ChangeLog.1:5380:34:  (Minibuffer History): Describe "future history" list.  State default
 doc/emacs/mini.texi:647:25:as moving through the ``future history''.
 doc/emacs/mini.texi:649:9:@cindex future history for file names
 doc/emacs/mini.texi:652:9:  The ``future history'' for file names includes several possible
 doc/emacs/mini.texi:660:19:value, then the ``future history'' of file names will include only the
 doc/lispref/minibuf.texi:144:9:@cindex future history in minibuffer input
 doc/lispref/minibuf.texi:148:3:``future history'', available to the user with @kbd{M-n}.
 doc/lispref/minibuf.texi:2312:49:can go beyond the current position and invoke ``future history''
 lisp/simple.el:2134:45:negative number -N means the Nth entry of \"future history.\""

Are you sure that we should change them to " in the newly added doc?
