It would be great if the matchit plugin (a plugin that ships with vim
but is not enabled by default) could jump to matching single or double
quotation marks.  So, for example, if I write the following:

She said, "Hey, what's up?"

and I put my cursor on one quotation mark, matchit should be able to
take me to the other quotation mark when I press the % key.  This
should work while editing C files, Java files, Perl files, and
preferably also plain text files.
