Good point. Since «» are quotation marks they could instead be moved
under <" and >". That's not as intuitive, but it's still easy to
remember once you see it once.
Also, most cases where a user types C-x 8 >>, they'll be looking for
the ≫ and not the ». Not that » isn't used, it's just that (I think)
most people who type » have it in their keyboard layout already.
