It seems to me like an issue of principle of least surprise. We get a lot of questions like "How do I preserve whitespace?" or more tellingly "My whitespace isn't being preserved!" People aren't discovering ~ on their own - they're expecting it to Just Work. Which is what it should do.
Ideally, you shouldn't have to remember anything at all. It should /all/ Just Work. This may not be feasible, but we should work towards it as much as possible. - Nathan Hampton wrote: > Eh, I like it the way it is. > > Its a momentary 'gotya' but you quickly get over it and the solution > is efficient and easy to implement.
