I would view bold italics with adjacent apostrophes as a corner case.
The behavior in that case makes very little sense and I doubt it's
being widely used.
There's one obvious use: French. Eg: L''''arc de triomphe de
l'Étoile'''
appelé...
(though interestingly when I got to that page, the initial ' was actually
a ')
But yes, clearer, unambiguous syntax that didn't rely on arbitrary
processing rules would be good.
For example one might define a character like _ which represents a
non-joining non-space. So the above could be written L'_'''arc de
triomphe''' which would be clearer and unambiguous.
