Joris, do you have any comments about this backtick weirdness?

I think back ticks should have fixed width when mode=prog.

I'm curious about the reasoning behind backticks being exported in text 
as unicode 0xE28098 which looks quite different.

I'm curious how that when a text file with a back-tick is imported a 
different symbol is show on the screen (looks like a normal back-tick, 
i.e. a grave accent instead of a back-quote).

Perhaps when the back-tick key is pressed when mode=prog it should 
generate the character represented as \0 (what a weird representation?); 
and when mode=prog this character should be exported as ascii 0x60 
instead of unicode 0xE28098

If this sounds reasonable to you I will try to contrive it and send a 
patch, although I fear that interpreting a keystroke differently when 
mode=prog will be simpler than cut-n-paste differently into a place 
where mode=prog - perhaps you could advise?
