It might also be worth pointing out that troff does just fine with `` and ''
as curly quotes, so there's not a lot of need to use the Unicode ones.
In fact, in the default fonts I find that the Unicode ones don't typeset
particularly well -- they are too compressed.
So a more complete solution is just not to use them.
