Subject: 24.0.94; electric-pair-mode inserts unnecessary "

Hey gurus,

I often encounter electric-pair-mode inserting unnecessary quotation
marks on GNU Emacs 24.0.94.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.9) of 2012-03-01.

Recipe:

emacs -q
C-x b RET # we are in *scratch* now
M-x electric-pair-mode RET
"test C-d # at this point the line at point should read `"test
"

the line at point now contains "test"".  I think electric-pair-mode
should be smarter here, do a little backtracking, and just insert one
quote.

This is a feature request and not a real bug, of course.

        Christopher
