It's always great to leave a choice.
I just wanted to stress some points:
What is the "apostrophe typographique" ("curly")?
To confirm with an image so that there should be no confusion about it
It's Unicode U+2019, (or & # 8217; or & rsquo; which are just other names for exactly the same thing).

How do hunspell behaves with it in French?
This proves that it tends just to
ignore it. This is a test made with OpenOffice 3.4.1, with a French LOCALE and U+2019.
Middle image.
As you can see the sentence in the middle, with two apostrophes missing gets the same lack of flagging as the upper (apos. provided with Grammalecte) and lower one (apos. by inserting a special character with Linux Libertine).
The Grammalecte extension helps provide the U+2019 by default.
Mind!!! This hunspell behaviour may change using other LOCALE than fr_FR
Apostrophes are important in French language
I think it is pointless to expect hunspell to know all elided forms in French. They are just too numerous. But others may try it...
