	Personally, I prefer for these characters to be available all
	around Emacs, so even if there’re simpler means to enter them in
	some modes, I’d still need 'iso-transl (or the likes of it)
	elsewhere.

	Otherwise, given that texinfo-insert-quote seems to properly
	handle “code sample” vs. “prose” contexts, – yes, this may come
	to be a good enough solution for the problem at hand.
