Hard to edit how? It is not like we are in the 80s using ASCII charset and 
editors with 80x25 text console to edit the files...

The whole topic is kind of bikesheddy, so I don't really mind either way, 
I just don't see the benefit of using @tie{} or whatever instead of proper 
utf8 chars any half decent editor would support.
