Okay. So answer me, truthfully, just between you and me and some of our closest friends... :)


If I were to present to you a piece of paper with the hyphen/minus, true hyphen, non-breaking hyphen, and true minus printed out, could you distinguish them from each other? Other than the difference between breaking and non-breaking I don't really see the point. Or is it about the computer being able to tell the difference for search-and-replace, etc.?



Has an issue been filed? I would vote for it. It couldn't show up
until v 2.1 at the earliest, but the idea definitely has merit.
