Any fully programable editor should make that possible. For example,
some TeX-editing package for emacs (don't remember whether it's
AUC-TEX or the standard LaTeX mode) translates " to either `` or ''
(both special sequences to the TeX processor, mapped to directional
quotation amrks), depending on the context. The rule when I used it
was some derivative of "if there's a word-separator before insertion
point, insert ``, else insert ''".
