Attached is a proposed patch to master to do this. It disables 
translation from curved quotes, which means that quote translation now 
affects only ` and ', and it documents that the text-quoting-style 
'grave' therefore suppresses all quote translation. This shortens the 
Emacs source code by forty lines or so, which is a good sign.
