Since when we in Emacs do stuff "like everyone else" and feel good about that? Anyway, this argument about personal preferences is futile. Just understand that a feature that works for some vaguely-defined use cases, but doesn't work for the rest is a misfeature in my book. > I don't think the width of ⟹ as a non-composed character is too relevant, since we won't break it up, right? My point is that you cannot rely on the width being 3 columns. It may or may not be so.
