Yes. It doesn't break my terminal as badly as the sbuild boxes, but I
see garbage with gcc output sometimes. Doesn't happen all the time, and
I never tried to figure out what specifically makes it confused. But if
they stuck to the plain old quotes that were there for decades, it would
just work, and nobody would complain that the quotes are "ugly".
