Getting jbofi'e to recognize weirder punctuation is trivial, simply run
the text through the most simple of search/replace functions.
Which would you like, though? If we use "" for lu/li'u, what about
lo'u/lu'e and la'o gy.?
A recommended practice is to place the punctuation mark in front of the
cmavo, thus: (to, )toi, "lu, "li'u, "lo'u, "le'u, ?xu, !ba'e, etc. etc.
In that way the punc mark need not be mapped to just one sumti.
