Use proper quote signs and apostrophes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Use “ and ” in the text where appropriate, and ‘ and ’ also.  Unicode 
also
defines ’ for an apostrophe.

Eye-candy, that adding no value to the text.
Moreover, it could confuse readers if accidentally used in "less appropriate" 
places.
It's good et. all in literary texts, but better avoid such practice in 
documentation.
IMO.

On the contrary, I believe clearly defined "start" and "end" delimiters do add 
value
(if only a small bit) to the text.  Imagine editing HTML where the tag 
delimiters
were not < and >, but just a single character whose "start" and "end" you had to
track contextually:

  |html||head||title|My title|/title||/head|
  |body||p|1 lily is too little, but
  |span style="font-style: italic;"|3|/span| lilies
  is too much.|/p||/body||/html|

Of course, you have to be careful to only use it in the prose of the book, not 
in
command-line examples where perhaps the ASCII double-quote is required for 
proper
operation.  And realistically speaking, we aren't likely (note the "unlikely"
Milestone) to make this kind of a sweeping change.
