How to change dumb quotes to smart quotes without converting formats?

I have text files written in Markdown, and I want to smarten their 
punctuation. I know that, when *converting to* Markdown, Pandoc does this 
by default with the smart extension 
<https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-smart>. Is there a way to apply 
the effect of this extension to a file that is already in Markdown and that 
I don't want to convert to some other format?

A wrinkle: I want to do this to all files in a directory, and I don't want 
them text-wrapped. The command I'm presently using is:

for f in *.md; do pandoc --wrap=none "$f" -s -o "${f%.md}.md"; done

I guess it's no suprise that it doesn't do anything. I would appreciate any 
help!

Does adding "-t markdown-smart" meet you requirements?
