FreeBSD had traditionally used both double (``...'') and single (`...') to
express "literal" something; I am not convinced that changing it just to
match GitHub's markdown warrants it.  This `...` form is alien to FreeBSD,
and can be also confused with backquoted form of shell's $(...) command
substitution.
