I see; so the workflow is <set-mark-command><paste><quote-region>.  This is
nice.  However, I will keep using <NUMERIC><paste>, because it's fewer
keypresses.

As to changing the default quoting style, I went ahead and pushed it.  (Using
single quotes is consistent with quote-region and quote-line.)  I saw the
discussion about which values of NUMERIC should cause quoting (36193) but
I think it is orthogonal.

As Oliver said — we can make further changes later if needed.

Cheers,

Daniel

P.S.  Someone pointed out on IRC that 'typeset -p IFS' prints a literal
newline character.  Perhaps it should use $''-quoting to escape the
newline.
