[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi all,

In Emacs, punctuation characters typically expand abbrevs.  An exception
is TeX-insert-quote, which (in the default branch, without a prefix arg)
calls "insert" rather than "self-insert-command", hence does not expand
abbrevs.  I don't see any good reason for this, so I propose the
attached patch.  Compare with TeX-insert-punctuation, for instance.

Thanks, best,

Paul
