Re: [O] Bug: Exporting smart single quotes in Org 8.3 seems broken [8.3.

Just a note that British-English often uses quotes the same way as the US.  It is only in books that we use single outer quotes.  Newspapers and the BBC often use double quotes.  Headlines however use single quotes, though here they could just be typed manually.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_American_and_British_English#Quoting

It might be appropriate to have the quote setting to be a separate choice from the language, or have two options for en-GB (or we'd just use the US settings, but I am not sure if it affects more than the quotations).

Also, how should the user handle things like 36"?  Use a quotation mark and it affects following quotes, use a double prime and LaTeX throws an error about unicode.

I renamed `opening-double-quote' to `primary-opening' and
`opening-closing-quote' to `secondary-opening'. Ditto for closing parts.
