Why do you put the two dots over the 'e'? Don't you know that this is the kind of unnecessary flooflaw that breaks things? A few years ago I downloaded a tarball of Java source code from somewhere. The author's name in a comment had a vowel with two dots over it, and that was the only non-ASCII character in the files. I could not get those files to compile at all! I was using official JDK and everything. Finally I did a mass search-and-replace to get rid of the funny character and they compiled fine. Non-ASCII characters in filenames are just as bad as spaces. Why, back in my day, we got by with eight and three! And we didn't even have directories until DOS 2.0! Now get off my lawn.
