I use the `vim` conceal plugin to make some of these appear on screen while
I'm editing. So, for example, when I type `set()` I see `=E2=88=85`.  When =
I type
`all(...)` I see `=E2=88=80(...)`.

Much to the chagrin of Moshe Zadka, when I type `None` I see `=E2=84=B5` ..=
.
because I argue that =E2=84=B5_0 really should be considered an inaccessibl=
e
cardinal :-).

However, it never causes me problems because the files on disk are just
plain old ASCII (for the most part), and the special symbols are just what
my screen shows, not overloads to underlying operators.

The dead increasingly dominate and strangle both the living and the
not-yet born.  Vampiric capital and undead corporate persons abuse
the lives and control the thoughts of homo faber. Ideas, once born,
become abortifacients against new conceptions.
