Right. I actually think that using ~ as a range operator

fairly rare outside of electronic circles, at least in US English.
In other words, by at least 5% of the world population. :)
But even just looking at the US English, ~ is often used for
approximation, for the home directory, for equivalence, etc. So,
things like "The cost is ~ $3", "cd to ~ before doing this", "The N
needs a ~ over it", "If we assume x ~ y, then" will all suddenly
become definition lists?
Yeah, okay. Forget the one-line format, then. No one has implemented
it so far anyway, as near as I can tell. :-)
Term 1 o Definition a blah blah blah blah blah
Term 2 o Definition b foo bar baz
Term 3 o Definition c even more blah blah blah
É. O unico problema é o "o" do Portugues, que é um artigo nessa
linguagem.
(Our friend "o" is a _word_ in some languages.)
D'oh! Oh yeah! Sorry for the cultural imperialism. :-)
Best,
