#4556: Fancy quotes broken inside parentheses

 If I put text in plain quotes inside of parentheses ("like this"),
 Wordpress mistranslates the quotes into curly quotes.  I have a simple
 patch against wp-includes/formatting.php (tag 2.2.1, revision 5735) that
 should fix this.  It makes open-parens (and open-brackets) "transparent"
 to left curly quotes, and close-parens (and close-brackets) "transparent"
 to right curly quotes.

 Cheers,[[BR]]
