Well, the whole point of syntactic-comments is that the comments _are_
normal LaTeX constructs.  In fact, in a .dtx file I'd expect magic
quotes to be much more useful _in_ comments rather than in the code
they surround, as the uncommented stuff is code, and the commented
stuff is a descriptive document.

Of course, inside of verbatim I agree that we should not tamper with
quotes.
