If we do anything like smartquotes, it should be an option that you can turn off, and there should be a more-traditional-but-still-easy way to insert curved single quotes. For the latter, perhaps we could have M-( insert "‘’" when in a string or comment. M-( is already documented to have a precondition that point is not in a string or comment, so this would be an upward-compatible extension. Or perhaps you could suggest better bindings. This sort of thing might be good enough that we wouldn't need smartquotes after all.
