    I don't think it's a good idea to mark angle quotation marks
    as parenthesis syntax. Neither LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK nor
    RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK are.

Maybe they should be.  Wouldn't it be convenient?

     (They would have the same
    problem: German uses DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK as the left
    quotation mark, and LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK as the right
    one.)

We can solve this problem, for whichever characters, by creating
a mode that selects one behavior or the other.
