Is this just a personal taste, or a correction to typography?

When using single quotes, the manpage displayed backticks.

It does not seem to do that to me:

It does not use ASCII single quote ' (\047) but the result still does
render well enough to keep anybody who are typing, following the printed
examples, from mistaking it from a backquote:

But in this particular case, because sq/dq does not make any difference to
the example, I am Ok to change it to dq.  But I suspect there are many
other places that do need to use sq in examples, so...
