I want it primarily for Page Titles.  I'm creating {{Free Links}} and when I
list (for example, a name of a company or organization) I want to be able to
write {{A & B Janitorial Services}} or {{Wozney & Associates}} instead of
{{A And B Janitorial}} and {{Wozney And Associates}}.

What do you think? Possible?
