[ruby-core:96745] [Ruby master Feature#16495] Inconsistant Quotes in Error Messages

Issue #16495 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler).


Hmm. Is this encoding-related perhaps? I remember having had that when I used ISO (ISO-8859-1 specifically, and
a non-utf locale too). Nowadays, with Unicode, I don't seem to have this inconsistent quote - but I understand
what you refer to. I used to think that it was used to denote the start, and end part of the content. :P
(They are not the same characters in general right? Otherwise they would appear the same. I always thought it
may be some standard, perhaps to make parsing easier or something.)

Never bothered me that much to really investigate, though.

Feature #16495: Inconsistant Quotes in Error Messages
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16495#change-83732

* Author: Kolano (Kenneth Kolano)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal

* Target version: 
----------------------------------------
Error messages use inconsistent pairs of quotes, for instance...

```
-e:1:in `<main>': undefined local variable or method `foo' for main:Object (NameError)
```
...where a "fancy" quote is used on the left-hand side, and a standard single quote is used on the right.

The same quotes should be used on either side of elements being quoted.
