It actually is kinda a pity to me that it is such a common
character. In my macro expander I wrote for css uses this weird
character: ¤ to start a macro. That way, I could be reasonably
sure it would never show up anywhere else, simplifying the code a
bit.
By mapping it to F7 in my editor, it is easily available despite
not being on the keyboard, and it is even in the 8-bit character
set my old fonts use, so it would show up there too.
Imagine if macros were: ¤“name ‗ argument ‗ arg2”!
But I don't suppose we can ask people to map hotkeys to
conveniently write the docs either :(
