Hi

I noticed the following comment from you in the bug log for #184603:

"Yes, this matches the instructions for the use of \` in groff(7)."

where "this" appears to mean that \` should be used when a backtick is meant.
But that manpage says:

       \`     The grave accent `; same as \(ga.  Unescaped: left quote, 
backquote
              (ASCII 0x60).

which, to me, seems to indicate that an *unescaped* ` is the correct way to
produce a backtick.

Can you please clarify?

(This is related to Debian bug #557964.)
