Can someone please tell me how to define a local macro that contains
literal single quotes? For example Suppose I want to do something like
local bull "count if `temp' > 0"
where `temp' is to be interpreted literally, not evaluated.
. local bull "count if \`temp' > 0"
. mac li _bull
_bull: count if `temp' > 0
