Materialdesign: format-quote-(open,close)-outline
I have:
- [x] [Searched all issues](https://github.com/Templarian/MaterialDesign/issues) to make sure there isn't a request for this icon.
- [x] [Searched the current library](https://materialdesignicons.com/) to make sure the icon doesn't exist.
- [x] Only requested a single icon (or a few near-identical ones) in this issue.
Usage
Used in the same way the existing format-quote-open & format-quote-close icons are used.
Examples
Ideally the tails of the quotes would be outlined rather than solid, as with the narrow tails of the flash icons.

re: the thin outline in the tails, I had something like this in mind?

The tail is only 3dp wide. Even with a stroke width of 1.5dp it would still be filled. The option is to grow the outline IMO...
It's kinda blurry however. MrGrigri suggestions look a bit too much like 66 and 99 on the other hand.

I do not think an outlined variant of this makes much sense. As @MrGrigri has proved, they just look like numbers.

I believe in context they would make sense.

@goyney it's a stylistic choice, and the outlined tails seem to negate the resemblance to numbers one gets when outlining solely the main body of the quotes.

@CoDEmanX Your version of growing out is not using a 2dp stroke. Can we see what that looks like?

Away camping over the weekend, but can try next week.
MDI light has this icon BTW.

For reference:
Google's version ain't pretty:
Our MDIL ones @CoDEmanX mentioned:

MDIL ones appear to have a distinctly different aspect ratio on the head of the quote :s

@goyney Google's icon is exactly that:
It's not too bad IMO, it does not look like 99 and uses the standard stroke width...
What we can do to improve it slight is to move the two bottom left vertices to the left by 0.5dp:
