Ok that's good to know. What exactly happens when it tries to parse
them? Does it not count them or does it fail somehow? The way the
output is structured
t/001_basic.pl ..
# Subtest: vacuumlo --help
ok 1 - exit code 0
ok 2 - goes to stdout
ok 3 - nothing to stderr
1..3
ok 1 - vacuumlo --help
it appears that it should be able to parse it nonetheless and should
just count the non-indented lines.
