        Well, …

        For a random data point, I tend to use 2 to 4 instances most of
        the time, with 2 being the most typical case.

        It still happens to me; although subjectively, it became less of
        a problem in the recent years.  Per my experience, it tends to
        happen when dealing with characters outside of the ASCII set
        (see [1] for an example), so this probably counts as being
        dependent on the use case.
