Eli,
Well, I feel strongly that the result of @code{'Address} looks really
cruddy in an .info file. However, it occurs to me that if I rewrote
the section a little to supply dummy prefixes (e.g., @code{Obj'Address}),
the result would not be so bad and would use the right markup command.

OK on both.
