I understand your role as a head maintainer, but wielding
the CONTRIBUTE file to block functional, clear code is
exactly how open source projects stagnate.

If your goal is genuinely to encourage future contributions,
putting up arbitrary walls over formatting or demanding that
I remove a single sentence to satisfy your paragraph length
preferences accomplishes the exact opposite. I have provided
a tested patch that solves a real issue. The comments I added
provide sufficient context.

If you insist on holding up a valid contribution over
stylistic preferences, you are welcome to make those minor
edits yourself before merging. Otherwise, I suggest we merge
the patch as is and focus on actual technical improvements.
