It might be a carry over from the tex/latex world. In tex/latex a backtick ` is used to open a quote a forward tick ' is used to close it. Similarly a double backtick `` for opening double quotes and two forward ticks '' for closing double quotes. This way tex/latex is absolutely sure that you want opening or closing braces.
