    license: Prequel hyphen is no longer needed
    
    "Once, long ago, indent(3) would not touch comments starting with /*-.
    But not too many people used it. Fast forward to the 90s or early 2000s.
    I wrote a crappy tool to parse out license statements. It was super ugly
    perl and super slow. So I repurposed that as a marker, convinced the
    project to adopt it and touched almsot every file in the tree. The
    parser was faster, but I couldn't get it released. I think nobody else
    ever used it."  ~imp
