It's a seven-character fix

Highly entertaining, I wish someone did a screenplay with this.<p>On another note: I do maintain one or two a-tiny-bit-popular repos on Github myself, and every time I receive a comment or pull request I&#x27;m always surprised how much that &quot;job&quot; is not worth doing. Most contributions are useless and most developers behave like spoiled, stupid, five year olds. (No offence, I&#x27;m including myself here.)

How does allowing `:`, `\n`, and a bunch of other characters that might be problematic in a Unix or Windows shell fix anything? What if every time someone demanded &quot;change these seven characters,&quot; project maintainers complied?<p>Without a test, without a clear problem spec, without an explanation of why those specific seven characters are <i>the</i> fix.<p>What would happen then?
