Comment (by miqrogroove):

 Algorithm brainstorm:

 1. Split the subject string at every opening quote.
 1. If each value contains only one closing quote, then no primes exist.
 1. If a value contains multiple closing quote candidates then any
 candidate that is not preceded by a digit should be replaced with a
 closing quote before replacing the primes.
 1. Make sure primes are followed by a space, whereas trailing punctuation
 indicates a quote.
 1. If all closing quotes are preceded by a digit and not followed by
 punctuation then the last quote is assumed to be the only closing quote
 character.
 1. Implode the subject string and resume the inner loop of wptexturize.
