bug#46926: [External] : bug#46926: Remove the quotes from highlighted/linked symbols when displaying docs

No.  Please do not do this.

1. Users can turn off such highlighting.  They still need
   to be able to easily see such things.  The things need
   to stand out.

2. Users need to be able to search for such things, and
   one way to do that is to include the quotes, whether
   with a regexp or a plain-text pattern.

If you personally don't want to see the quotes, then
define some code that hides them.

Emacs itself could optionally have a command/mode to
hide them.  But I, personally, am not in favor of that.
Likewise, for hiding <...>, "...", '...', or any other
such envelopes.
