That's why the first line reads:

"It's actually a known bug."

What else could I have written?? Maybe a bug fix.

And it's also a widely roaming myth that the first character on the
command line is a space: THIS IS NONSENSE!
That MS COMMAND passes on leading spaces is also a dump decision of that
past hacker making the thing, gosh. BUT IT IS A BUG, BUT I RANGE IT LOW IN
THE TO-DO LIST, for various reasons.

If I get provided a bugfix, this stuff might show up soon.
