Comment (by miqrogroove):

 Refreshed patch and looked at remaining issues.  I think this patch will
 stand on its own because it solves a specific problem without being too
 complex.

 The remaining problems we still have with a phrase like {{{'99'}}} is that
 it could have three different meanings depending on its context.
 Examples:

 {{{Then he said, '99' of lumber'.}}}

 {{{Then he said, "we need '99' feet of lumber".}}}

 {{{Then he said, 'that was the class of '99'.}}}

 We could theoretically determine that context, but it would require a huge
 amount of new code that seems to be beyond the scope of this ticket.
