Okay, after reading this a few times, I see what you mean... Just to
clarify, when we press a letter 'a' at the end of a line like

A quote starts ``

then, instead of trying to find out if the string
"A quote starts ``a" matches with an LHS, we first remove the `` and
then try to see if "A quote starts a" matches with an available lhs?

That will certainly work. (Although removing s:ProtectStrings everywhere
is not necessary, only from the end no?)

Do you think we need to do this still? The present system of creating
fake maps seems to work as of now... If you still think we need this,
please go ahead and add this... You'll also need to remove the
s:ProtectLetters() function from main.vim and add in a couple of
IMAP_Protect()'s instead....
