Never really thought about that; this is easy to do and I will do it, if you
let me know which symbols in addtion to the quotes you have in mind.
Also, the shaping engine can do dumb->smart quote translation which
is language sensitive. It is not used for anything, as there were
objections to 'soft' (display-only) translation, but when someone wants
to implement smart quotes again. its there for the taking.
