Yes, I have noticed, especially with apostrophes. When that happens, I
usually just manually override it as a work around.
My goal was just to get the tool into Apache as-is (warts and all). We can
try and fix annoyances like that on subsequent PRs (IMHO).
I know you have some enhancements that you would like to make also.
Looking forward to those. :)
