It does indeed, and it didn't quite occur to me
when writing the patch; whoops.
But like Corwin, I too personally much rather
be notified of my nick getting highlighted in
exchange for losing some convenience with
respect to clickable links.
That said, from a brief chat with Tom Tromey in
#erc on freenode today, I agree with him that
one probably shouldn't make changes to syntax
tables lightly, without first considering all
possible cases. I wonder if you or Tom would
be so kind to do such an audit for this change.
I'd also be open to other ways of doing this if
there's a better way. I guess in general it is
kind of tricky to deal with these characters in
URLs. At least one person I talked to earlier
today said they would expect the apostrophe to
be part of the URL (i.e. not a word boundary).
It may be even more tricky or more subjective
for parens.
Thoughts?
