What I hate most is how when you use a Unicode locale, troff
renders two consecutive hyphens, "--", as an em-dash: "—". That's
perfectly fine for prose and I'm all for proper typography, but
sorry, `--verbose` and `—verbose` are just not the same thing.
I'm not sure whether the manpage authors are to blame for not
using "verbatim text/code" tags, or troff is to blame for not
having them, but in any case,
alias man='LC_CTYPE=C man'
is a braindead thing to have to do.
