I have no intention to remove it now.  Stefan is concerned about the current 
design, and as I understand it would prefer a more-general approach that would 
render text-quoting-style unnecessary.  If that happens, then of course 
text-quoting-style could be removed, as it's never appeared in a release.  But I 
don't see us removing text-quoting-style without replacing it with something else.
