Hi,

(Forgetting our documentation philosophy session for a minute,)

I'm experiencing issues in MKIV with smart quotes. Specifically, opening quotes. Compare the output of `texexec dash-test' and `context quote-test' on the following:

\starttext
`Yes, but --- '

`--- this is an interruption! Get down on the floor!'

The interjection was quite {\em unexpected} ---
indeed, `shocking'.
\stoptext

And the following with double quotes:

\starttext
``Yes, but --- ''

``--- this is an interruption! Get down on the floor!''

The interjection was quite {\em unexpected} ---
indeed, ``shocking''.
\stoptext

In both cases, MKIV treats the opening grave character (is that the name? backtick?) literally rather than as an opening smart quote.
