More on Matching string-quote syntax (cf. my note of 25 Apr)

I'm dealing with a language with the following syntax:
  ` '	are string quotes
  # \n	is a comment

Since quote-syntax only comes in pairs (no matching character spec),
I'm forced to use comment-syntax for `' .  But then what do I use for
comments?
