 > Looking again through this ticket, I still haven't heard an actual use-
 case for disabling wptexturize().

 If what you're asking is "why do I want to disable wptexturize?", I
 thought that would be obvious.  That function does certain things --
 namely taking the characters that I typed, and turning them into other
 characters -- and I don't want that. I want to see the characters I
 actually typed instead.

 I'm not nitpicking just about how it's translating my quotes, or whether
 one particular hyphen is being rewritten right.  I want it keep its hands
 completely off of my text. If I had wanted curly quotes then that's what I
 would have typed.

 If other people want that, great. But please don't force this "feature" on
 me with no reasonable way to disable it.
