Hi Richard
I fail to see how Quail can be used to do what smartquotes.el does.
1. I need special bindings for the fancy quotes and double quotes
2. I'm modifying the meanings of . and - (I don't know how to do this
with Quail)
Sometimes it takes less effort to write something simple for yourself
than to learn something more complex. In this case, I simply did not
remember or know Quail enough to check it out first (I will).
Bisous,
PS I still did not find time to clean up rst.el to send you the final
version for inclusion... it's still on my list.
