Yes, but I intend to submit it on a separate patch series, probably after
having this one merged. Let's first cleanup the large part of the=20
conversion-generated UTF-8 char noise ;-)

Agreed. I'm also considering to add a couple of cases of this char:

	- U+2026 ('=E2=80=A6'): HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS

As Sphinx also replaces "..." into HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS.

-

Anyway, I'm opting to submitting those in separate because it seems
that at least some maintainers added EM/EN DASH intentionally.

So, it may generate case-per-case discussions.

Also, IMO, at least a couple of EN/EM DASH cases would be better served=20
with a single hyphen.

Thanks,
Mauro
