v2:
- removed EM/EN DASH conversion from this patchset;  

Are you still thinking about doing the

EN DASH --> "--"
EM DASH --> "---"

conversion?  

Yes, but I intend to submit it on a separate patch series, probably after
having this one merged. Let's first cleanup the large part of the 
conversion-generated UTF-8 char noise ;-)

That's not going to change what the documentation will
look like in the HTML and PDF output forms, and I think it would make
life easier for people are reading and editing the Documentation/*
files in text form.

Agreed. I'm also considering to add a couple of cases of this char:

	- U+2026 ('…'): HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS

As Sphinx also replaces "..." into HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS.

Anyway, I'm opting to submitting those in separate because it seems
that at least some maintainers added EM/EN DASH intentionally.

So, it may generate case-per-case discussions.

Also, IMO, at least a couple of EN/EM DASH cases would be better served 
with a single hyphen.

Thanks,
Mauro
