Er, "~" is an extremely annoying character to type at many keyboards. It
may depend on your keyboard localization. On my Belgian keyboard, I have
to press Alt-Gr (the second Alt) and keep it down, then the "~" button,
release Alt-Gr, then a space. I don't find this handy, because it's far
too easy to mess up. Just the word "cat" (or "cc") is a lot less work,
simply because it requires no special keypresses.
