And many Klingonists use {...} when quoting Klingon text inline,
since the glottal stop is represented in Klingon transcription
by the apostrophe, which can disappear when jutted up against
normal quotation marks. It also conflicts with the single quotation
mark used in nested quotations, which is nicely handled by nested
{...} since it is a pair of distinct symbols instead of a single one
repeated.
cf. "jol yIchu'" with {jol yIchu'}
