Sure, but I think that sort of thing is basically an obscure special
case, and really shouldn't affect the normal handling of such
characters.  Emacs simply can't get _every_ obscure case right.

[Sexp commands wouldn't properly cross line boundaries inside text
using `»' as a citation prefix, but given that this use is rare, and
that people generally only do very simple editing inside such cited
text anyway (typically one only operates on line and sentence
boundaries), it seems unlikely to be much of a problem!]
