    I have implemented the handling of the "smart" quotes in the shaping
    engine and commented out the old mechanism -- play with it for a
    while, and then let's decide if it is good enough or not.

    To manually override the automatic shape:

    a right quote in a middle of a word can be turned into a left one by
    inserting alt+spacebar in front of it

    a right quote in a middle of a word can be turned into a straight
    quote by inserting alt+spacebar in front and back of it

    a right quote at the end of a word can be turned into a straight one
    by inserting alt+spacebar in front of it.

    a left quote at the start of a word can be turned into a straight one
    by inserting alt+spacebar after it.

    files: ut_contextGlyph.h/cpp, fp_TextRun.cpp, fl_DocLayout.cpp,
    ap_LB_default.cpp, ap_EditMethods.cpp.

    Tomas
