Considering that if there's an escaping rule (and we've more or less 
agreed that there should be), the choice of using curly quotes in source 
buffers or not is orthogonal to the choice of the method of the escaping 
rule's application (font-lock or not).

So we'll only "have to" use the curlies in the source code if the 
escaping syntax (and its application) are determined not to be good enough.
