Add SmartQuotes filter

[benbalter]

There's a few scenarios where we'd prefer content be published with smart quotes, and based on our implementation, the most elegant solution would be to bake the smartification into HTML Pipeline.

It looks like Rubypants is a Ruby port of SmartyPants, the library used by things like WordPress.

Before I went too far down the 🐰 hole, wanted to gauge interest in a PR adding a SmartQuotes filter that used Ruby pants as an optional dependency.

If you do decide to build it, I'd recommend building as a separate gem and linking to it from the readme. We've been avoiding adding more dependencies to this gem and also it's easier for the original author to maintain it.

Just to confirm, you're suggesting I create a gem that adds a new filter to HTML pipeline?

@benbalter yep! Examples are in this section of the readme: https://github.com/jch/html-pipeline#3rd-party-extensions. Closing for now, but feel free to send a PR with a link to your project if you build it.
