well, if before=\blank, that will not change; actually, quotations are 
hooked into narrower, which start/ends new pars; a more generic switch can 
be built in, but takes time, so in due time you can have that switch (with 
of course the danger that nothing generates a par anymore, or worse, that 
anybody disagrees with any defaults), but not in a quick and dirty hack; i 
will first make a proper startdisplay/stopdisplay, and after that it may go 
in some env's
