Mocaccino overwrites Base.symbols.dot. Why?

[mantoni]

Because IE 11 somehow managed to show an empty dot report with the mocha default character. I’d be happy to remove this if there’s a better option.

That's probably better addressed by Mocha. But we don't test the dot reporter in the browser (until I started messing with it, anyway), so not surprised I'd never heard of this.

I tried to find the original issue but no luck, also not in Mochify. It’s been like this for a long time. It might have been a PhantomJS related issue that’s completely obsolete. I can run some tests tomorrow.

[boneskull]

I can work around it for now by changing the value of dot in our tests. no rush.

I ran some checks and cannot find any issues anymore. Works fine in IE 11 and Edge without overriding the symbol. Feel free to remove.
