Thank you that is exactly what I was thinking about. I had no idea that
cutting and pasting from PDF would not result in exact duplication in
ascii, so a warning is warranted.
Noodig eigenlijk.

No, apparently not. Never mind... what a stupid LaTeX bug! Doesn't

I think the proper thing is to add a note to the PDF docs that people
should not expect cutting & pasting from the PDF to work. PDF is made
