In text-mode when typing guillemts to indicate direct speech I always
get this message about non matching parenthesis:

`No matching parenthesis found'

Yes, I could disable it with `blink-matching-paren' or set
`show-paren-mode' to nil. But because this affects emacs' global
behaviour this is not what I want.

Why in the first place does emacs think he has to tell me about matching
or not matching guillemets - they are no braquets actually.
And in fact emacs treats the guillemets the wrong way up, the above
message is displayed on the opening guillemet (») and not on a single
closing one («) with a missing match.
