Normalization

Do not use a raw ampersand even in output,chr. If used as text it needs to have a spaces around it.

Rationale

Same rationale as the Markup.

Since & is a markup character it must be done via output() in order to be safe in all contexts.

If it is used as a word it should have a space on each side of it for clarity.

IF YOU USE THIS FILTER ALSO USE …

… THIS FILTER Locale::Maketext::Utils::Phrase::Norm::Markup.

This is not enforced anywhere since we want to assume the coder knows what they are doing.

Problem should be self explanatory. The former gets replaced with the latter.

Problem should be self explanatory. The former gets replaced with the latter.

Ampersand should have one space before and/or after unless it is embedded in an asis().
