TIL setting quotes around active region
=======================================

Today I Learned (or rather, rediscovered) how easy it is in Emacs to
surround the active region with quotes.

It is very simple:

* First, make a region active, f.e., select one or more words with C-M-SPACe
  (Ctrl-Alt-space)
* Second, type a quote (")

That's it!

This also works for other enclosing elements like parentheses, square
brackets, and so on.

As it happens more often in Emacs, I "learned" of the option by
applying it by accident.

In hindsight, I have known this option, but completely forgot it :)
