Which is also where it is on a (UK-English-language-system) Mac, but
can we count on it not being used for something entirely different on

This is one thing that can easily be written in ASCII, as "(c)" or

the time because every time I've wanted to make the point I've been
the copyright-holder, but it could go in C:, A:, D: or B: as well.
