FWIW, use of "fancy" quotes is sometimes featured in official rules for
languages. In German, for example, but likely others, too.

Also, while " and ' have obviously a special meaning for the resource
compiler and need to be escaped, I doubt ‘’‚‛“”„「」『』 have, so using
them in strings - as far as the codepage allows - shouldn't cause any
problems.
