Now compare this correct, but horribly complex analysis (can a human
really do that habitually?) with the SuperCite "nonstandard" [1] quoting
I use.  Which is easier to read, honestly?  If it is a matter of
colorizing in the mutt pager, a simple setting of quote_regexp in
.muttrc fixes that.  (This should count as ob-mutt content.)

Which RFC specifies the multi-> quoting, anyway?
