There are definitely some funky quotes in Unicode so let's assume so.

OK, but can you say how it's useful in a specific example? In SQL,
Perl, Java, Lisp, and TeX editing I would not need the *glyphs*
highlighted because the mode would detect the mismatch, e.g. in Perl
$result = `run command here[wrong backward quote here]; # comment here
would highlight "comment here" as part of the command. IOW they are
syntactically significant so a mismatch is not likely to go unnoticed
anyway by the regular font-lock and the parser.
In regular text it's legitimate to have any combination of quote marks
so I don't see the benefit of looking for suspicious combinations. In
domain names quote marks of any kind are suspicious :)
