Description
The scribble/comment-reader causes quasiquote (#\u60) to be replaced by a left single quotation mark (#\u2018), which is inconsistent with what other comment forms produce. For example, the first two produce the right thing, but the last doesn't:
#lang scribble/manual
@(require scribble/examples)
@racketblock[(code:comment "`hi")]
@examples[(code:comment "`hi")]
@#reader scribble/comment-reader
(racketblock
;; `hi
)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Scribble example using scribble/comment-reader and compare its rendering of quasiquote with the code:comment and examples forms. Trace the comment-reader entry point to find where the character is transformed, then verify that all three examples produce the same quasiquote output.
