I agree with this reasoning, and would go as far as to say that if=20 this fixes anything, that thing should probably be fixed instead=E2=80=A6? =E2=80=98Takes a list of As, but as a special case, a single A=E2=80=99 is= =20 confusing and makes it that much harder for newcomers to move=20 beyond cargo-culting magical snippets.
