Comment:

 This isn't the_title() only; it's wptexturize().

 The rule is designed for years. So, `'99` or `'99's` gets rendered with an
 apostrophe preceeding the `99`. In this case, it isn't a year, it's only
 one digit. So that should handle at least 0-9 and 100+. What about 10-99?
 In this case, it's the start of a quote. If we can manage to process that
 there is a closing quote as well, versus just a standalone number, it's
 probably a better bet to assume that we're dealing with a quote rather
 than a year, which is much more rare.

 This some needs unit tests. Also is possibly a duplicate of
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=!closed&keywords=~wptexturize&component=Formatting
 another wptexturize() ticket] (most of which also need unit tests).
