I currently interpret it as "See if the editor emits further cruft, print a space in that case". Though, it's not what we are doing. Something like the following, perhaps? > > In a non-dumb terminal, separate our message from further cruft > that might be emitted by the editor with SP. I see what you mean. My (non-native) language feeling tells me that reordering the sentence might sound better: * In a non-dumb terminal, separate our message with SP * from further cruft that might be emitted by the editor. @Junio: If you agree with the change, can you squash either of the new versions?
