I'd like to straighten some things about notation. I've never seen any
explicit explanation, but here's what I've figured out myself:
* double quotes are for quoting natlang text, eg: "red" is an
adjective
* curly brackets aka braces are for quoting Lojban text, eg: {xunre}
is a brivla
* lojban words used in their original meaning are not quoted (like
{brivla} above)
Some people mix it up (maybe myself sometimes too).
If I'm wrong, please somebody correct me.

My preferences:
Double quotes for literal strings: "Five" has four letters.
Single quotes for meanings. "Bachelor" means 'never married male adult human'.
Braces for Lojban literal strings (so they don't conflict with apostrophes, y'y).
Italics for foreign words.
