Subject: dash dash?
Date: Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:22:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2BF01EB27B56CC478AD6E5A0A28931F20139546C@A1DAL1SWPES19MB.ams.acs-inc.net> (raw)
Attempting to do some housecleaning and uninstall packages
I no longer use, I attempted to uninstall dash, but Setup
informs me that it is required by rebase. Wouldn't bash or
the Bourne shell be a more appropriate choice? Sure, dash
is smaller than either, but efficiency isn't critical for
an application such as rebase.
I then ran "man dash" and found two places in the man page
that use the Unicode MATHEMATICAL LEFT/RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET
(U+27E8/27E9) symbols. These symbols probably don't render
properly on most folk's systems, so IMHO are a poor choice
of symbols to use in a man page. In an example, it shows:
lf foobar ⟨return⟩
