I just went ahead to check that, and from the very first commit [1]
asciidoctor generated quotes compatible with groff:

  git filter\-branch \-\-tree\-filter \(aqrm filename\(aq HEAD

So it has *always* worked.

You can see it from the code:

  gsub('\'', '\\(aq').      # apostrophe-quote

In fact, they never changed that, so it should fail in Solaris, or
anything that doesn't use groff.

I've sent them a fix [2].

What are these "newever versions" that do the right thing in all cases?
