[gdal-dev] Why does ogrinfo use backtics in the output?

Hi,

I have been wondering for a long time why orginfo is using backtics/backquotes in the output. In this example before "foo" and "ESRI"

ogrinfo foo.shp
INFO: Open of `foo.shp'
      using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Not so big problem but in markup the backtick means the beginning/end of a code block and copy-pasting ogrinfo report may require some hand editing. Would it make any harm to use single quotes at both ends?
