Oh, you are the one.  Thank you for the effort.  I myself is the
source of your troubles ;-)

I often call them `back quotes' or 'back ticks'.

|IOW, should the 4th case above read: 

|c  ... # an alternative grave accents syntax

Perl, which also have the quote x (in the form qx//), calls this
alternative form of COMMAND, and

|d  ... # better idea ...

calls this WORD LIST.  Hope this helps.
