Sometimes you want a single quotation mark next to an italicized (or bolded) word. It would be nice if VisualEditor/Parsoid did something elegant with the wikitext, like "celui d'<nowiki/>''Homo sapiens''" instead of wrapping half a sentence inside nowiki tags to deal with a single character.
See https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=La_Horde_sauvage_(film,_1969)&curid=88578&diff=106771550&oldid=106771188 https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Archelon&curid=1273494&diff=106770342&oldid=105728402 If in a long string, only a single small piece of it needs nowiki-ing, that single string can be wrapped. In general, this requires knowing that nothing else in the long string needs a nowiki wrapper, but heuristics could work for common scenarios. This seems to be a problem that affects frwiki especially.
