this is both a combination of the default selection regexes not helping you
in this case (you can provide your own) and a performance-workaround for perl
5.8 + unicode. once 5.10 becomes widespread, this can be removed, bringing
back full unicode capabilities to the pattern matching.

Yes, because there is a regex for `'.

This currently fails because matching is done in utf-8 space and not in
unicode-space, so the quotaiton marks will be interpreted as multiple
characters.

You cna try getting an alternation to work („|...), but I am too tired to
come up with a regex. An easy first try would be: „(.*?)“

This will work even in utf-8 space.
