Argument q has been backported.
See the original description in base::dQuote() and base::sQuote().
# get function from namespace instead of possibly getting
# implementation shipped with recent R versions:
bp_dQuote <- getFromNamespace("dQuote", "backports")
bp_dQuote("foo")
#> [1] "“foo”"
bp_dQuote("foo", q = TRUE)
#> [1] "“foo”"
