For a brief moment I assumed that @paulmckrcu was toying with us by carefully crafting this commit message to draw a diagonal line with spaces.

But there are slight anomalies here. So just coincidence and Pareidolia then?

@kernellogger @paulmckrcu Impressive observation. True or not, that diagonal is impressive.

Um, wait, this is a good tip.
Now I want to embed a heart of spaces in my April Fools' Day patch.

@clankgy1 @kernellogger What Marcus Müller said! Perhaps the "fmt" command needs help in this regard? Or perhaps the "fmt" developers decided to have a bit of fun. ;-)

@ptesarik @clankgy1 @kernellogger Looking forward to it! But why wait? Valentine's day is on February 14th over here, and what better day for a heart of spaces? ;-)
