Thanks for the patch, Piotr.

Did we reach any consensus regarding this? I am asking because https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/Typography says:
"Whether to use single or double quotes is still under discussion."
Comment 2 Piotr Drąg 2016-11-26 19:18:38 UTC 
HIG, which was based on this wiki page, lists only double quotation marks, so I think designers decided on using those.

FWIW, as an English major I would strongly prefer double quotes.
