It's not in the documentation, as it rarely deals with habits and
styles. And many people could consider it perfectly kosher. It's just
something  *I* consider a bad habit personally, feel free to use it as

wouldn't even mention it, as I did not in my first response, I just
did to explain why I ignored the tail.
