I've noticed that Lojban's quotation marks are more limited than those
in natlangs. They only turn text into sumti referring to that text. On
the other hand, natlang quotation marks have many more uses:
* mark fragment of text as someone else's words, eg. "I like it when
you 'walk to the store', as John calls it". I can't find an equivalent
in Lojban
* mark non-standard usage, like neologism, slang, stretched meaning
(some of them may be covered by {pe'a} and {za'e})
* indicate irony, in the sense {je'unai} (but is it exactly this?
example: http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=2103)

I'd like to know how to express the first of those.
