Yes, I kind of expected that to happen actually. I went for the  
quickest and dirtiest method I could come up with, mostly to show  
that you can do it with a very short script. For a quick fix, define  
a command, say \amp, that generates \&, and use that instead.

As for unicode support, it is a bit complicated, and there is a quite  
long thread in ruby-talk you can follow if you are interested. It's  
not that you can't use unicode characters in strings, you can. Also,  
regular expressions will work just fine. But a couple of commands  
like “length” and “downcase” and others won't do the “right thing”.
