---------

The purpose of my quick and dirty fct was to
show it's possible to create a text replacement
fct which is using exclusively text / strings
via a dict. (Even if in my exemple, I'm using
- and can use - None as an empty string !)


You are right.

It is also arguable, that beeing forced to have
to use a number in order to replace a character,
may not be a so good idea.

This should be noticed by any serious language designer.

More seriously.
.translate() is a very nice and underestimated method.
