Hmmm and thanks!  I tried this (working from the "renaming jpeg files"
thread):

$ alias jheadrename="jhead -nf'%Y%m%d-%H%M-%03i'"

$ alias jheadrename
alias jheadrename='jhead -nf'\''%Y%m%d-%H%M-%03i'\'''

Then tried both versions in ~/.bashrc and they both work (although the
first one gets translated into the second).  So I think this means
that \' works *outside* of '...' and adjacent to it but not inside it.
