Comment (by miqrogroove):

 Regarding comments 3 & 4 above, here is why a closing quote is not
 algorithmically helpful:

 {{{Then she said, 'I went to school in '99 but dropped out.'}}}

 vs.

 {{{Back in '99 she said, '40 years ago I went to school but dropped
 out.'}}}

 Both sentences have closing quotes, but usage of abbreviations remains
 ambiguous in simple patterns.
