Compare:
"Personally, I never want to see those funny accent characters over the
letters when I type in Czech. I work simultaneously in English and
Czech, and the accents confuse me. Let cmdproxy insert the accents
for me".
When you're typing "dir" commands, backslashes are for separating
directories and forward slashes are for introducing options - this
will list \p page by page:
dir \p/p
If cmdproxy is changed to re-write dir commands, you'll be breaking
things for people who expect dir to work like dir works in a regular
cmd.exe window, just like I'd be breaking Czech support for native
Czech speakers with my proposed language mangling.
