Rule request: Avoid surrounding strings with smart quotes

[iRon7]

Summary of the new feature

Quoted strings are sometimes unintendedly replaced when passed by word processors as Microsoft Office applications as MSWord and Outlook. It is recommended to surround strings with unambiguous single quoted or double quoted string as it unnecessary triggers the UseBOMForUnicodeEncodedFile rule with no clear indication of the location.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

See (PowerShell based) prototype AvoidSmartQuotedString at: https://github.com/iRon7/PSRules

What is the latest version of PSScriptAnalyzer at the point of writing

1.21.0

Thanks @iRon7 I am going to open this up as a discussion and see if other folks have scenarios that would need this, PowerShell manages smart quotes quite well today

@SydneyhSmith,

Thanks for picking this up as a discussion

Agree but just like e.g. the AvoidTrailingWhitespace rule, you better avoid them.
