These quotes are a continuing pain.

The problem is that single quotes sometimes really have to be imported as ` and ' if my memory is correct.  Typically in computer code where the code may become semantically incorrect when not converted appropriately.

For the moment, I just modified the conversions of \lq and \rq.
We could add a hack to force actual UTF-8 quotes to be imported correctly within the LaTeX->TeXmacs converter.

However, I am not sure whether ' from LaTeX should officially be imported as a right quote.  I don't think so, in fact.  I guess that certain language settings might make this happen, but I doubt that this is the default behaviour.

I guess that most existing BibTeX files will use ' and not the UTF-8 right quote <#2019>.  So it is not clear to me how we should deal with this issue.  Maybe a hack that would be specific to BibTeX?

It has been reported in the forum that curved apostrophes in a bibtex file are converted into straight apostrophes:

http://forum.texmacs.cn/t/apostrophes-in-system-fonts/

This seems to happen in `utf8_to_cork`, which loads `TeXmacs/langs/encoding/unicode-cork-oneway.scm`, where line 12 converts "#2019" into "'".
