Comment:

 New patch against trunk should be much closer to what we need.  In
 miqro-8775.patch:

 * Quoted numbers preceded by spaces get curly quotes.
 * So, "123" works, but"123"blah does not work.
 * Trailing space not required.  Will this break things like '99's?
 * Decimals and commas are allowed after the first digit.
 * nbsp works as whitespace.
 * Regexp will search for quotes first for optimum performance.
 * Unit tests updated to match.
