Description

**[Keir](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=keirlawson)** opened **[MDEP-562](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-562?redirect=false)** and commented

Now that MSHARED-615 has been merged I would like to propose that this be made the default behavior. By this point most developers have unicode-compatible terminals and given the extended characters make the tree more readable it would be nice to have this as the default option.

Research direction

No source file or test is named in the issue. Read the linked MSHARED-615 change and trace the dependency-tree display entry point to find where extended tokens are selected; done means extended characters are used by default while any existing opt-out behavior remains available.
