So I guess this is a misunderstanding.  I do agree 2.50 and 2.13
sometimes disagree on quotation rules, although we paid attention to
keeping backward compatibility for most cases.  But each time you
referred to changequote and I really thought you were referring to
something we broke wrt it.

Sorry if I hurt you.  It's probably only a problem related to
vocabulary.
