Fair enough, you've changed my mind.
I've changed all instances of
[\.?!]''
to
''[\.?!]
with the exception of a couple of places where the C spec was being
quoted, and the trailing punctuation was part of the quote, like so:
''[\.?!]''
The quote/punctuation usage should be consistent now.
Patches will follow.
