Oh, I made a small mistake here. When I said that the apostrophes were
automatically autocorrected to the "single high-reversed-9" quotation marks, I
was wrong. The apostrophes are automatically changed to the "left single
quotation mark," i.e. U+2018. 

What should happen is that in texts in which the language is predominantly
German is that the punctuation should follow the German punctuation rules. But
when there is quoted text in another language, which can be specified over the
character and font menu dialog, the quoted text inside the quotations should
follow the German punctuation rules but allow English apostrophes to be
inserted, and then autocorrected to the curly right single quotation marks. This
can probably be accomplished by writing code that looks to see if there is
already another single quotation directly at the beginning of a word, and if
not, then change the apostrophe not to an open quote, but a curly apostrophe
mark. Try it for yourself. Install the German language pack, and then try to
make an apostrophe somewhere. Totally impossible, they are all changed to open
quotes.
