I don't have backticks on my keyboard, so I use them only when they are needed.
They have even removed the backticks in the Python2 -> Python3 transition
partially because of this (and partially because there is a more obvious way to do
it in Python, and Python tries to keep only one obvious way to do things).

Python's `xyz` is equivalent to repr(xyz). I think it is removed in
Python 3 more because `...` is not worth the specialness as repr(). But
D's `...` is much more worthy as a convenient literal syntax when
involving '"' or '\'.
(I know some keyboard doesn't have '[' and ']'. So having no '`'
shouldn't be the reason it is removed from the language.)
