#8 Treat unicode "smart" quotes as punctuation

[Trent W. Buck]

Consider: double quotes are considered punctuation:

$ echo '"`Practical Common Lisp` is dead sexy."' |
rst2html | grep sexy
<p>&quot;<cite>Practical Common Lisp</cite> is dead
sexy.&quot;</p>

but unicode smart quotes are not:

$ echo '“`Practical Common Lisp` is dead sexy.”' |
rst2html | grep sexy
<p>“`Practical Common Lisp` is dead sexy.”</p>

The desired result is either:

$ echo '“`Practical Common Lisp` is dead sexy.”' |
rst2html | grep sexy
<p>&ldquo;<cite>Practical Common Lisp</cite> is dead
sexy.&rdquo;</p>

or:

$ echo '“`Practical Common Lisp` is dead sexy.”' |
rst2html | grep sexy
<p>“<cite>Practical Common Lisp</cite> is dead sexy.”</p>

Note that this is more important for single quotes,
since rst2latex+latex converts 'foo' to ’foo’ (not
‘foo’), so smart quotes are *required* for correct
translation.
