Copy/paste of anything for machine consumption is generally a bad
idea, although it tends to mostly work in practice for most people
most of the time.  I have situations at work where some of my terminal
sessions are running UTF-8 and some are running in ISO-8859-x.  If I
copy perl code between the two with mouse copy/paste, sometimes dashes
(the ones that work for subtraction in perl) get converted into some
other funky character which looks a lot like a dash, but causes syntax
errors.
