[m-dev.] Suggestion: change quotation rule

I've just discovered that backquotes do not implicitly `forward'quote
their content - that is, I can't write

	X `:<>` Y	% Direct transliteration of a bit'o'Haskell.

rather, I have to type

	X `':<>'` Y

which seems a tad unnecessary (and my program starts to look like an
m4 script).  Could we change the quotation rule so that the former is
acceptable?

Cheers,

Ralph
