And I'm opposed to continuing to abuse ASCII glyphs and pretend they
stand for something other than their creators intended. One couldn't
avoid it when the available encoding didn't provide a clean way to write
some stuff, but doing it in 2008 is plain dumb.
Granted, UTF-8 glyphs can be abused as well; see %changelog in the following:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/perl-Convert-UUlib/devel/perl-Co...
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/lzop/devel/lzop.spec?revision=1....
You even used two different glyphs for "fixed the license"!
