When I type a single quote (') in a .clj file the TextMate Clojure mode automatically doubles it, producing '', with the cursor between the two single quotes. Surely this is wrong, even if one likes the automatic typing of closing brackets and double quotes (which have always bothered me, but I'm trying to get over that). In Clojure a single quote almost always occurs in isolation, not as a member of a pair.

Thanks for the report. This is probably a behavior acquired from the original bundle. Please open up a issue on GitHub.
