To take a step back and think about solving both problems... What
about a list of characters - to include, by default, quotation marks
and apostrophes and maybe a few other things like dashes - that are
allowed to be silently mapped to best-fit ASCII equivalents when
writing a buffer in a coding system that does not support them?
