I see several reasons not to do that change:
1. p2ql uses ~=. We cannot change that. Not now and not later.
2. Only some of the European keyboards suffer from this. A US keyboard
has the tilde as a first class character (shifted at top left). Same
thing on a French keyboard.
3. The ~= intuitively leads me to believe that this must be an
approximation which is fairly close to what it really is.
