Either the (haddock) documentation or the implementation is wrong. Is the first sign really supposed to be a back quote?
I'd like to change the implementation to use ordinary forward single quotes. The backtick is not a quotation mark - it looks ok in some fonts (eg. the X11 misc fonts), but not in others. There's an article somewhere on the web that describes why backticks should not be used as single quotes, I can probably dig it up if anyone's interested. I'm aware that GHC is a serious offender here :-) Any objections to changing this in Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ? Cheers, Simon
