Can you give an example of such a feature?  I'm not seeing the problem.

In environments that can't handle Unicode, perhaps Emacs disables some other 
features regardless of text quoting style.  If so, it should be OK to disable 
curved quote display too.

My suggestion was meant for Alan's environment; he is running in a GNU/Linux 
platform where LC_ALL does have the desired effect.  The suggestion wasn't meant 
for Windows users, where I assume the problem is solved in a different way and 
no suggestion is needed.
