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?
