Description
In the codeblock environment, single quotes are rendered as straight quotes; however, in other places (i.e. in most places), single quotes are rendered as curly quotes. IMO, it would be better to render them as straight quotes consistently.
Spreading out \textquotesingle is tedious and hurts readability. So modifying \tcode (and likes) to render single quotes as straight quotes would be nice.
