He he. I'm not sure if you're laughing with me or at me. In any
case, you should know that I'm dead serious: If
# -*- coding: Latin-1 -*-
is a good idea then
-*- coding: Latin-1 -*-
is a better one.
I'm not saying that dash-star-dash is a good idea, I'm not saying that
it isn't. But whatever we do, the Python interpreter should never
execute the contents of comments.
