Not too thrilled about this: the current handling for the bare-bones
default case works OK and it could be easily extended to handle the csquotes
case.
I'd worry a bit about adding the newcommand in the preamble during org
processing: what would happen if I tried to use csquotes then? Would I
get a conflict? Would I have unpredictable situations where sometimes
I'd get the bare-bones definition and sometimes the csquotes one? All of
these can be answered of course, but the point is that you can't leave
it to accident.

Agreed.
