Latex back-end already takes care of setting the correct Babel language
according to LANGUAGE keyword.

The only problem is when user doesn't load Babel at all, but still wants
to use smart quotes. Is it meaningful? Even if it is, I suspect it is
quite rare. So, dropping a note in `org-export-with-smart-quotes'
docstring would be enough.

As you probably know, I'm not a big fan of package autoloading.
