How can I create a new element with html special character content in MooTools?

Question

I'm trying to convert about 200 lines of my jQuery code into MooTools to avoid including two libraries on an existing site. I'm having a problem with just one line:

new Element('span', {text: ' » '}).inject(elem);

Once I inject the span, the text becomes:

»"

How can I prevent MooTools from escaping the ampersand? Here's a jsFiddle demo: http://jsfiddle.net/nHhSY/

I think you need to use

new Element('span', {html: ' » '}).inject(elem);
