A clever way of dealing with the unbalanced quotes (to R's way of
thinking) that can be returned to Emacs from a bash call.  The `
character screws up the font colouring.  Can't imagine how it could be
done, and I realize it's really a bash issue, but I'd be very grateful
if someone could work out a way of dealing with it.  I invariably see
colours as though it's all a string irrespective of function names or
anything else.  I tire of deleting the offending character before I
can read R code properly.  I'm very lazy, I know.
