But then the correct UI is to show pairs of quote characters and allow
selection of any combination of any number of the pairs.  What you
seem to suggest instead are pre-composed combinations, according to
your selection, which I think is less optimal.  Can't Customize
support radio buttons and allow selection of any number of
possibilities, not just one out of many?
