Comment (by miqrogroove):

 A few more thoughts:

 Patch will need to be refreshed after 4.0.1.

 Patch did not add any new tests for cases like {{{Fred answered the
 problem with '99' and then turned in the test.}}}  It would be helpful to
 look into whether the complexity would be increased or decreased by
 bringing in logic for quoted 2-digit numbers.  This is the situation where
 we have to distinguish between an abbreviated year at the end of a
 quotation vs. a standalone quoted 2-digit number.  If we can remove those
 extra regex patterns from the main function and incorporate them here, it
 might give better and faster results.
