#31886: wptexturize closing single quotes regex missing punctuation marks

 The function wptexturize alters single quotes followed by spaces or ending
 punctuation from regular ' to a curly closing quote.

 However, the regex appears to be missing at least the semi-colon as a
 punctuation mark:


 {{{
   // Single quotes followed by spaces or ending punctuation.
   if ( "'" !== $closing_single_quote ) {
          $dynamic[ '/\'(?=\Z|[.,)}\-\]]|>|' . $spaces . ')/' ] =
 $closing_single_quote;
   }
 }}}

 (And looking at it, I believe it's also missing the colon mark).

 The result is that in a sentence with opening and closing single quote,
 followed by a semi-colon, the closing quote is wrongly texturized. Please
 see attached image to illustrate.

 Thank you,

 Bira
