When you pass by this again remember my earlier problem with importing
text that has "ugly". Search for " and replace the opening ones with ``
and the closing ones with '' is sort of tedious. If LyX could do this
sorta magically, depending on the quote type, it would be very cool. The
results of Search for " and replace with " would depend on quote type,
so "ugly" might go to <<ugly>>.
