Ah, that explains why the question keeps coming up on this
list and never in a Python forum ... Or not?
In fact, apart from Python and XML I can't think of any
languages that don't make a distinction between double and
single quotes, as it's an extremely useful difference and
it's a waste of a limited character set to ignore it.
Hmm, "I guess you 'never need' nested quotes?"
In any case, I did not suggest changing the current quote
behavior, just adding an additional syntax.

No, in Vim v7, 'I don''t need nested quotes.' because a pair of single
quotes within a single-quoted string means a single single-quote at that
point in the resulting string. In pre-v7 Vim, I could have used string
concatenation, which is less elegant, but works too.
Best regards,
