Rob Farmer dixit:

That=E2=80=99s a FreeBSD=C2=AE specific issue though. Other operating syste=
ms
did the sensible thing ages ago =E2=98=BA

Even then, I tend to disagree here. There=E2=80=99s the common use of
=E2=80=98% =E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98$ =E2=80=99 (and =E2=80=98# =E2=80=99 but=
 we use sudo(8) these days) as PS1
in examples to distinguish between these two.
