Was there a decision made to just not support old-style "(`\n"
backquotes?  Reading the code, it looks like the "(` " style was added
back, but not the more extensive

ch == ' ' || ch == '\t' || ch == '\n' || ch == '\r' || ch == '\f' || ch == '('

list suggested.  If the decision was to not support this, since all
support for old-style backquotes are scheduled to be removed in Emacs
25, this bug report can be closed.
