Given perl6's use of unicode as a basis, could we get "curly quotes",
both single and double, to do the same things that straight quotes do?
 That is: "text" does the same thing as "text", and 'text' does the
same thing as 'text'.  Other than "looks neat", why do this?  Because
curly-quotes come in matching sets, like parentheses and brackets do;
this lets you nest them.

(This seems so simple and obvious that I'll be surprised if someone
hasn't already proposed this; however, I don't recall seeing it
anywhere.)
