Why want quoting method agnosticism within text that is English and
known to be English in the foreseeable five or ten years? Curly quotes
are the semantically proper way of quoting things in English, and can
be easily degraded to the spacing grave accent and straight single
quote. Upgrading those to curly quotes, on the other hand, requires
solving a hard problem, and the solution likely involves backslashes.
