I don't actually dislike the eszet; I was just messing with Pascal a bit.

I like some bits of the reforms and dislike others - the new rules for the eszet
is among what I like; I find them easier and more useful. Things I dislike
include the triple consonants (_Schifffarhrt_) and some of the new rules for
Zusammen-/Getrenntschreibung.
