That's because we're used to the more widespread plain double quotes
(""). But the cool guys say different. For example, check [1].
(BTW this guy says that these quotes should be used in french as well.)
The Debian spanish translation group agrees with me [2], so the «» quotes
are used pervasively there. I do that as well in Postgres, after
extensive investigation on the matter because my escepticism mirrored
yours.
