“Smart quotes” are the ideal form of quotation marks and apostrophes, and are commonly curly or sloped. "Dumb quotes," or straight quotes, are a vestigial constraint from typewriters when using one key for two different marks helped save space on a keyboard.

Also helps us be consistent. I’m going to make a PR to our marketing site to fix these issues as well, to bring further consistency to our copy (docs / marketing / otherwise). Starting with v0.5.0 and up, smart-punctuation is enabled by default, so we just need this temporarily.
