Yes, I suppose so. :)
Well, let's see if anyone else around here has any input, I expect people
will start peeking in with feature requests any day now...

I've been there for most of the 90s. FTN standards at the time specified
the use of 0x8D as something equivalent to ­ in HTML, so it would
simply disappear upon rendering everywhere. If you didn't tune your
software to replace it with 0x48, everyone would call you a lamer.
It did not do anything of the sort by default. :) Getting tripped up by
that was something of a rite of passage.
