What
Updates text strings that don’t follow the coding guideline regarding the usage of the apostrophe instead of single-quote characters.
It also looks for double-quote characters (aka “straight quotes”) and replace then with appropriate “curly quotes”.
Why
Besides enforcing a coding guideline, this is a good opportunity to push for better typographic handling of text strings, as WordPress now focus more on design.

Testing Instructions
Add any of the above blocks in the site editor or post editor, and check user-facing messages for the use of the apostrophe or curly quotes.
