At the moment, backticks are used more often than single quotes
for formatting of boolean values in documentation:

     $ git grep -oE "\`(false|true)\`" -- Documentation/*.txt Documentation/config/*.txt | wc -l

     $ git grep -oE "'(false|true)'" -- Documentation/*.txt Documentation/config/*.txt | wc -l
     53
