@evan What does "verified" mean in this sentence?

@evan @blaine But then who does the public key infrastructure?

@blaine @evan I agree with you that users shouldn't manage their keys directly. I have developed several production PKI systems and take pride in the fact that the documentation never mentions the word "key" at all.

@mcc Can't we just special case smart quotes in the parsers already? It's 2023, not everything is ASCII anymore. At the very least, the IDEs could fix it for you, just like the word processors break it.
