Conversion of apostrophes to hyphens in page names

Hello,

It would be nice to have a ' converted to a - in a page name, in version 2.8.

In French, for exemple, L'arbre vert is converted to larbre-vert when it should preferably be l-arbre-vert.

I haven't tried with the English language recently. Let's go, for example, should preferably (?) be converted to let-s-go (if it's not already the case).
I will have to test what happens with haven't also, for instance.

With 2.7, I always have to manually modify it. And/but editors...

There is surely a (update/upgrade-proof) way to change this by tweaking files but it would be nice to have it by default.

Perhaps it has already been discussed and there is a reason why it's not working that way.

I've thought about writing this post several times but have always ended up not doing it.

The French example seems to make sense, but as far as I can tell, English versions make more sense when the apostrophe is removed: lets-go vs. let-s-go, havent-been-there vs. haven-t-been-there, adrians-suggestion vs. adrian-s-suggestion, etc. I'd suggest going with Adrian's suggestion above.
