Did you want this "gc.auto" to use the differing left and
right accent/quote characters (which asciidoc renders as
single-quotes and asciidoctor as double-quotes) or should
the closing "'" instead be "`" to render "gc.auto" as
monospaced text?

I suspect it's the latter, as that matches most of the other
variable names in the docs.

I noticed this while comparing the output from asciidoc and
asciidoctor.  I've got a few similar changes queued up as
minor fixes to lower the diff between asciidoc/tor but I
wanted to check whether you intended this one before I sent
a patch to correct it. :)

Thanks,
