To be perfectly honest, I got confused by Stefan's suggestion, too.  If
the goal is to have electric-pair-mode-like behaviour, just turn on
electric-pair-mode.

I'd just like to point out, however, that automatically pairing quotes
and parens extends far beyond electric-pair-mode.  Of course I think
it's the best of the bunch, but there are other popular packages like
smartparens, paredit, wrap-region, textmate (and even my previous
autopair which some insist on using for some reason).
