[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
In reply to those worried about how to search for these characters:

If this gets implemented I can finish up the character folding search I was
writing a few months ago. That means searching for regular quotes would
also match curly quotes, just like searching for lowercase strings also
matches upper-case ones (if you have that enabled).

Despite this, I'm completely neutral on whether this should be done or not.
