I had forgotten that jed supports 2 string delimiters per syntax
table.  I have since made changes that increase that number to 6.  See
<http://www.jedsoft.org/snapshots/> for the latest version.

Alternatively, you can give the backtick a character-delimiter syntax,
which will also have the desired effect:

  define_syntax('`', '\'', $1);

Also, remove ` from the operator syntax.  That is, change

  define_syntax("!&*+-/<=>^|~", '+', $1);

to

  define_syntax("!&*+-/<=>^|~", '+', $1);

Thanks,
