The attached patch:
1. Makes sure that the bare ' renders as the closing quote the adjacent
text says it is, even on UTF-8 devices where the stated rule is
broken.
2. Adds " to the list of characters that don't render as themselves,
because it doesn't as part of arguments to macros.
Regards,
Branden
