Editors are easily dismayed. Among the many "corrections" that the editor of
my Cocoa book made was correcting the "grammar" of my code. Even Microsoft
Word will mess up your code, if the editor leaves autocorrect and various
other word processing conveniences turned on. For example, AppleScript's
double-hyphen comment delimiter becomes an em-dash. What a nightmare.
