It's not a bad idea to use entities. I just discovered that an \rsquo
entity already exists. Right single quotation mark is the Unicode
recommended character for the apostrophe, and it is also the character
used in org-export-smart-quotes-alist[1].
Anyway, I think a) your patch could be a major improvement; b) perhaps a
brief note in the manual (I can send a tiny patch) should be added to
warn of possible ambiguities, and possible solutions.
[1] Although there are arguments against this Unicode recommendation,
