Hi,

I've tried to modify the behaviour of csquotes. In particular, I wanted to use guillemets when writing in German. I've realized a couple of things:

- There is currently no easy way to modify the package behaviour. No csquotes-options metadata variable or something similar. Any reason not to add this ?
- With csquotes you can set package options also via  `\ExecuteQuoteOptions{}`, so I tried `\ExecuteQuoteOptions{german=guillemets}`. However, pdflatex now complained about `\ExecuteQuoteOptions{}` being undefined. Apparently, `header-includes` stuff is added to the preamble before the csquotes package is loaded. Is there any reason for this? Wouldn't it make more sense to defer the loading of header-includes material until later in the template?
- Using `header-includes: \usepackage[german=guillemets]{csquotes}` doesn't work either, because that way pandoc will not realize that the csquotes packages is actually used.
- This here will work though:


```
header-includes: \usepackage[german=guillemets]{csquotes}
csquotes: true
```
This will cause pandoc to use \enquote, and loading csquotes twice doesn't seem to do any harm. Yet, I'd argue that this is poor style.

So, to sum up, anything speaking against adding a new option csquotes-options *and* moving \usepackage{csquotes} up in the template / header-includes down? (As per common knowledge, hyperref should probably come last, but I don't see why natbib or biblatex should be loaded after header-includes.)

Best,
Denis
