Strange, for official PDF updated for 26.3, Adobe Reader, SumatraPDF,
and Firefox's PDF reader, all show ``...'' instead of “...”, here.

If it's Texinfo problem, then yes.  I just tried to fix it the
simplest way possible.

I'm aware of ``...'' as a default way of printing “...”, but - again -
I wanted to fix it and this small change did it.  Because it wasn't in
the middle of paragraph, I thought it may be acceptable.

Since you don't want make any exceptions of this kind, I think I'm on
my way to "help-texinfo" mailing list.  Could you keep this open for
few more days?
