Characters such as M-dashes and smart quotes should be replaced

[TimShererAtAquent]

This is a feature request.

I don’t have a lot of examples – see ForEach-Object InputObject param:

“command results to ForEach-Object, the InputObject value—even if the value is a collection that is the result of a command, such as –InputObject (Get-Process)—is”

Here’s the preview mode of atom:

“Object value—even if the value is a collection that is the result of a command, such as –InputObject (Get”

This is probably what it looks like in the console (I don’t have this version of PS installed.)

We should replace em dashes and en dashes with hyphens. So, asci 150 and 151.

While I have the ascii table out. These should be a simple apostrophe:

145 91 ‘ ‘
146 92 ’ ’

These should be straight quotes.

147 93 “ “
148 94 ” ”

Like I said, I don't have a lot of examples because we set Dx not to use these characters, but there will be lots of text editors used and lots of copy paste as we do round tripping.

Let me know if this has been dealt with - I don't see it in the resolved issues.

Implementation note: C# and PS uses Unicode, not ASCII

So left single quote would be 0x2018, not 0x91
