Why Turn Off Byte Compile Warning on Docstring

since Emacs 28 (Released 2022-04) , single quote needs to have the form \\='.

adding the \\=' creates lots problems in docstring, especially if it contains complicated regex.

It is much simpler, to have your docstring remain using just single quote, and turn off byte-compile warning. Also, turn off the quote conversion. [see Emacs: text-quoting-style]
