When I have a markdown file like this:

```
'foo'
"bar"
```

The result of `pandoc --to=context foo.md` is `\quote{foo} 
\quotation{bar}`. The result of `pandoc --to=context --output=foo.pdf 
foo.md` is what I would expect: single quotes around 'foo' and double 
quotes around 'bar'. The output of `pandoc --metadata=lang:en-GB 
--to=context foo.md` is the same. But, the output of `pandoc 
--metadata=lang:en-GB --to=context --output=foo.pdf foo.md` has double 
quotes around 'foo' and single quotes around 'bar'.

I could solve this by using double quotes where I want single, and vice 
versa. But that will give the wrong result for HTML from the same source. 
Also, I'm sure that I would forget half the time.

I assume that this happens because Pandoc treats the double quote as the 
'top' level of quotes, which in US English is a double quote and in UK 
English (in this case, confusingly) is a single quote. I don't think it's a 
bug, therefore.

I think that the same thing happens with csquotes and LaTeX. But there I 
don't turn on csquotes.

Is there some way to get the behaviour I want while still using British 
English?
