GHC output contains quoted fragments:
Module graph contains a cycle:
module ‘C’ (./C.hs)
imports module ‘A’ (A.hs)
which imports module ‘B’ (./B.hs)
which imports module ‘C’ (./C.hs)
When Unicode output is not available, the Unicode quotes are substituted
for GNU-style ASCII quotes:
module `C' (./C.hs)
However, when the quoted text starts or ends with a single quote, ASCII
quotes are omitted. This leads to ambiguous output:
A → `A'
A' → A'
`A' → `A'
'A → 'A
'A' → 'A'
Correctly parsing this is challenging.
This probably increases the amount of backtracking and lookahead
required for these parsers. Not sure if that's significant or relevant.
