Please make sure you're getting the same results.

EDIT: ooh ... I see now what you mean about calibre's regular smartening routine. It DOES turn those consecutive straight single quotes into right curlies. I don't think it always did that.

EDIT 2: After studying SmartyPants again, the attempt to smarten backticks is exactly why all consecutive single quotes get converted to a right (closing) curly double quote -- and exactly why I chose to turn that feature off.
Good to know you've found the reason. Do you think it should be considered a bug and notified to Kovid in order to also disable it?

In addition, do you still need me to test your examples? (I've been too lazy to do it yet... )

Have you found what it is happening here?

(Remember that Whatever is not in the exception list but it is also modified as if it were...)
