(However, as it bloats the edit page up to 700%
$ wget -O x.html

there should also be some mechanism available for pages like these for
users to opt out, perhaps via Preferences?)
Yeah, CharInsert is a mess:
<a
onclick="insertTags('–','','');return
false" href="#">–</a>
<a
onclick="insertTags('—','','');return
false" href="#">—</a> ·
<a
onclick="insertTags('“','”','');return
false" href="#">“”</a>
Why can't the HTML for this be something like
<span class="insert">–</span>
<span class="insert">—</span> ·
<span class="insert">“”</span>
Or even just
<span>–</span> <span>—</span> · <span>“”</span>
with JavaScript parsing it to make the characters clickable?
