This is true of many standard TeX ligatures (is this the right word here?)
such as ... (\ldots, \dots also works), << (\og), >> (\fg), "` (\glqq),
"' (\grqq), ~ (unbreakable space), etc.

This can be a bit disturbing for experienced TeX users.

OK, \quotation{} is cleaner and of course using unicode
characters may be even more readable, sometimes.

I have very mixed feelings, as I know how to type ...
but I never can recall the keyboard gymnastics necessary
to get this in unicode.
(Things are even worse on a Mac, as the standard keyboard
layout is missing lots of important characters.)
