Well, of course I want some fancy behavior.  I think I want this:

* M-e and M-a should find ". " in addition to ".  " in cited text.

* It is okay for M-a/M-e to find ". " in my own text, too, but I think
  I would prefer them to only find ".  " in my own text.

* M-q should have the double-space behavior when invoked on my own
  text.

* I'm not sure what I want M-q to do in cited text.

So, it is not enough to just frob sentence-end-double-space, since
that affects cited text and my own text in the same way.
