Follow-up Comment #3, bug #44716 (project groff):

For some unknown reason, Bjarni's last comment doesn't appear here, thus
resending.

----

There is no sense in applying automatic kerning corrections if something is
between the characters.  So manual corrections break nothing.

'Quotesingle' and "quotedbl" are glyphs for nondirectional quotation marks and
therefore not used in the usual (classic) typesetting of text.

These glyphs are only (primarily) used when printing computer code (ASCII) and
then usually used with a constant-width fonts (e.g. COURIER), where kerning is
not used (needed).

So I think now, that no additional kerning information is needed for these
nondirectional quotation-characters, if they are used "correctly".
