I am not a francophone, I just have tried to look into sources I found
during discussion on Greek quotes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#French
says that there are different styles of inner quotes.
I am more worry that Unicode CLDR defines the same character for quotes.
However inner quotes varies across languages:
fr.xml: <quotationStart>«</quotationStart>
fr.xml: <quotationEnd>»</quotationEnd>
fr.xml: <alternateQuotationStart>«</alternateQuotationStart>
fr.xml: <alternateQuotationEnd>»</alternateQuotationEnd>
fr_CA.xml: <alternateQuotationStart>”</alternateQuotationStart>
fr_CA.xml: <alternateQuotationEnd>“</alternateQuotationEnd>
fr_CH.xml: <alternateQuotationStart>‹</alternateQuotationStart>
fr_CH.xml: <alternateQuotationEnd>›</alternateQuotationEnd>
I would prefer to keep consistency with CLDR.
