If like me you are using a Japanese keyboard and type in the English
keyboard style using wetware, the Kanji Hankaku /Zenkaku key produces
the tilde that is necessary for many URLs.  Of course, I have a feeling
that I am misunderstanding your question...  just thought I'd mention
this anyway.

Personally, I am against rejecting any post unless it is a big problem.
However, as always, majority rules.  If the majority wants to put
special functions on the list, I'll look into it if time permits.
