I know you're being at least 50% snarky there, Rob, but I a) think that
it is, in fact, criminal, and b) still don't think that penalizing the
people who do is a good idea, absent overwhelming other evidence.
And let's just note here that *Microsoft Word does this translation in
realtime during input*, assuming you don't turn it off.
So, clearly, it's not *that* abstruse.
