Yeah, that approach also has to assume that wt_status structure is used only once to create a single message buffer without being reused, but I think that is a safe assumption, too. The function being the only thing that adds the scissors line should also be a safe assumption in code hygiene standpoint---if somebody else tries to manually write such a line, we'll shoot such a patch down and tell them to call this function anyway ;-). > I did run the testsuite, and it passed.
