Yeah, my mighty Ubuntu "de-ch" layout has this nice extra feature, I can 
use the ~ to produce letters like ñ or ẽ. So I have to type ~+Space to 
actually get a ~.
If I forget the space, I get ≃. The ~ itself is AltGr+^ which is not too 
bad as I got many coding characters in the AltGr mode. Maybe I just have 
to change my keyboard layout for this particular case.

Also in UnrealScript it was used for float comparison with epsilon 
(almost equal).  ~= just doesn't look like "not equal" to me.
