I don't think it's a good idea to mark angle quotation marks
as parenthesis syntax. Neither LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK nor
RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK are. (They would have the same
problem: German uses DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK as the left
quotation mark, and LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK as the right
one.)
