electric-quote-chars is convenient for entering single and double
Unicode quotes, and can be configured according to everyoneʼs own
preference, but you have to do it character by character. Adding these
options just provides pre-configured correct settings for a number of

themselves how to customize it to use guillemets (or whatever their
preference is).
