Do you foresee you'd need --fixup=chomp124:<commit>? > I somehow doubt it. Having said that, we may regret if we did not include some punctuation to allow for a multi-word keyword. IOW, "alpha plus dash" might be a reasonable minimum. But what keyword --fixup=<keyword>:<commit> can take is entirely under our control, so it is not all that unreasonable if we just forced our developers some discipline to pick a single-word keyword for any of their future enhancements. It's not like we are opening up extensibility to the end-users, who may complain that the way they can spell their new <keyword> is too limited. So if we already have alpha[] and/or a helper function that does strspn(alpha) that we can reuse elsewhere, I do not think it is worth to try supporting punctuation. Thanks.
