<pre>Seems to me current handling of typographic 'single quotes' is correct to
function--use of opening and closing quotation. An immediate <Ctrl>+z or <Esc>
will revert any unwanted autocorrect while typing.
And as noted entries in the autocorrect Replacement strings data file by locale
(of the Paragraph being edited) will take precedence over the option
corrections of single and double quotes while typing or modifying content.
But, seems it could be a reasonable enhancement to the edit engine where it
should be possible to set additional logic testing for entry of second "'"
(0x0027). Maybe as simple as: "more than two words and it gets handled as a
quotation, one or two words and it is an apostrophe"--and receiving a locale
preferred typographic glyph for apostrophe. Though probably just the
QuotationEnd of the localedata/data/[locale]

title="RESOLVED FIXED - Impossible to enter the chars U+0027 APOSTROPHE with French (Swiss) Keyboard"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=116062">bug 116062</a> where we in the
i18npool/source/localedata/data/fr_CH.xml we reverted correct Swiss national
"‹" (0x2039) & "›" (0x203a) to "‘" (0x2018) & "’" (0x2019) for QuotationStart
& QuotationEnd to restore use of the apostrophe.
While for bug 1115382 László tweaked apostrophe usage for the -HU locales via
the Autocorrect logic.
Likewise we have some issues with RTL scripts, eg. <a class="bz_bug_link
