Seems very hard to print out that backquote though.  Closest I got
was bash converting it to "''":

>  read -r -a a< <(printf "%q " {Z..a})
>  my -p a
declare -a a=([0]="Z" [1]="\\[" [2]="''" [3]="\\]" [4]="\\^" [5]="_" 
[6]="\\\`" [7]="a")

#2 is where backslash would be and has been transliterated to the pair
of single quotes.  Guess "\\\\" was too messy looking?
