Selecting a region and hitting one "pair" character does not wrap the
selected text with that character.  Instead, it replaces the region by
the typed character.

That's a missing feature, IMHO, if electric-pair-mode is supposed to
replace (part of) smartparens, autopair and/or paredit -- unless you
consider them as completely orthogonal.

Best regards,
  Seb

I don't see that here:

   % emacs -Q -f electric-pair-mode
   C-SPC C-b C-b "

wraps the two newlines in ".." for me.

I must have changed things over time, as it now works for me as well as
I expect it.  Like what you show as well.  Sorry for the noise.

Now, I've added:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (defvar org-electric-pairs
    '((?\* . ?\*)
      (?/ . ?/)
      (?_ . ?_)
      (?= . ?=)
      (?~ . ?~))
    "Electric pairs for Org mode.")     ; See `org-emphasis-alist'.

  (defun org-add-electric-pairs ()
    (setq-local electric-pair-pairs (append electric-pair-pairs org-electric-pairs)))

  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-add-electric-pairs)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

to get added support of markers *, /, _, = and ~ in Org mode.  And that
works OK.

Small question regarding the double quotes: would there be a way to
convert them to « | » (instead of "|", where | is the cursor) when
`ispell-local-dictionary' or `ispell-dictionary' is equal to "francais"?

A few hings on how could we implement this in our .emacs (if it's not
foreseen in electric-pair-mode)?

Best regards,
  Seb
