Well, learn something new every day.  I always assumed that was purely
typographial.  I have never seen it in any plain text computer format.

Honestly though, when I budget my time I have to choose between my
wife, my five kids, my full time job, my other interests and
supporting ledger-mode, ledger documentation and sometimes actually
getting into the C++.  Guess which usually win?  Unless a huge number
of people start screaming for it I just can't see it being worth the
effort.  I usually add features that I want and share them with
everyone else.  If someone wanted to start paying for features, that
could be interesting enough to get my attention on adding things that
are of no importance to me...
