Saying “latin1 quotes” adds zero clarity. It actually muddles the facts, especially since cp1252 does add quotes and, again especially, since there was some confusion about what quotes (and encoding) I (well, Google) was using in my e-mails. But this is a big “whatever”. As latin1 (or, more appropriately, iso-8859-1) is a superset of ASCII and Unicode is a superset of latin1, then what I really care about is having support for Unicode quotes. Or, Unicode apostrophes, to be exact (not U+0027, but U+2019), as it’s not ‘’’’s role as a right single quotation mark, but as an apostrophe, that I care about. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
