+** The new user option 'electric-quote-context-sensitive' makes
+'electric-quote-mode' context sensitive.  If it is non-nil, you can
+type an ASCII apostrophe to insert an opening or closing quote,
+depending on context.  Emacs will replace the apostrophe by an opening
+quote character at the beginning of the buffer, the beginning of a
+line, after a whitespace character, and after an opening parenthesis;
+and it will replace the apostrophe by a closing quote character in all
+other cases.

+** The new variable 'electric-quote-code-faces' controls when to
+disable electric quoting in text modes.  Major modes can add faces to
+this list; Emacs will temporarily disable 'electric-quote-mode'
+whenever point is before a character having such a face.  This is
+intended for major modes that derive from 'text-mode' but allow inline
+code segments, such as 'markdown-mode'.
