Indeed, \' prints as an acute accent, which is not right, but for
me, on a terminal, ' is shown as ', as a plain apostrophe, 0x27
-- there is no need for \(aq there. And for people who actually
want to print a man page, I would have thought they would prefer
to see the curly U+2019 ("this is the preferred character to use
for apostrophe") instead of the straight U+0027.

What makes you prefer the straight form in typeset documents?
