It is function `message', not your proposed function `memo',
that should not "restyle" quote chars.
If you want a function that restyles quote chars then _that_
should be a new function. Existing code - and future code -
that uses `message' should not have any such "restyling"
imposed on it.
If you had simply offered to add such a new function, I
doubt that anyone would have complained. Seriously.
Instead, you had to impose this incompatible and specialized
prettification on the longstanding and ubiquitous, stalwart
workhorse function `message'.
That was a grave design error. It should never have been
allowed.

Really? You are actually arguing for concern about 3rd-party
maintenance work now? This is like DJT complaining about fake
news from others.
Where was that concern when you hijacked `message'? Where was
your proposal to create another function, then?

And now you are concerned about users? Where was that concern
when you imposed an incompatible change on `message'?

Where was your concern about letting `message' callers be
able to continue operating as before, before?
