How would you expect it to work? Would you expect it to apply to one line at a
time, to the whole screen (compacting several lines into fewer lines), to a
rectangular region on the screen, or what? What if, due to the number of
"special" characters, a line becomes longer than the screen width? What other
factors to you feel need to be considered? What clever ideas can be "borrowed"
from those who are already providing such a feature? What do others think? What
do those who speak languages other than English think?
