But my GUI (xterm) can't do that easily, so to fix the inappropriate use

My suggestion is that by default (without some appropriate option
or environment variable) that gcc's message routines (error etc)
would translate the '\`' to '\''.
However, if we change the actual error messages to use '\'', then
it becomes much more difficult support the *option* to convert
then to some other format.
