Package: emacs
Version: 24.3
(Also in current trunk.)
emacs -Q
M-x list-packages RET
Select "ascii-art-to-unicode"
Scroll down the description past the part that says "M-x aa2u RET".
The buffer is completely messed up at this point, showing raw
characters instead of the unicode box that you see if you visit the raw
source file for the package. See attached image.

Perhaps it has, but url/*.el has 32 files; I'm not going to delve into
it right now ;-) If it has the facility and a better fix than mine is
possible, fine (my fix isn't complex, removing it is trivial). And if
not, certainly adding that feature is a post-freeze endeavour.
