[ruby-core:116296] [Ruby master Feature#16495] Inconsistent quotes in error messages

Issue #16495 has been updated by Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme).


I'd like something that's convenient to copy-paste. Testing:

with single quote pair:
undefined local variable or method 'foobar' for main:Object (NameError)
`undefined local variable or method 'foobar' for main:Object (NameError)`
``undefined local variable or method 'foobar' for main:Object (NameError)``

with backtick pair:
undefined local variable or method `foobar` for main:Object (NameError)
`undefined local variable or method `foobar` for main:Object (NameError)`
``undefined local variable or method `foobar` for main:Object (NameError)``

At first I preferred backticks but given how the above are rendered in markdown I've ended up preferring single quotes.

Feature #16495: Inconsistent quotes in error messages

* Author: Kolano (Kenneth Kolano)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
----------------------------------------
Error messages use inconsistent pairs of quotes, for instance:

```
-e:1:in `<main>': undefined local variable or method `foo' for main:Object (NameError)
```

where a back tick is used on the left-hand side, and a single quote is used on the right.

The same quotes should be used on either side of the elements being quoted.
