The above nonsense may (badly) mimic excess whitespace causing
premature linebreaks because code no longer fits on screen widthwise,
far worse excess blank lines prevent visual line-up if a construct no
longer fits on screen heightwise, imo often for no good reason.

Or as my Latin teacher used to say:
In appro pria tespa cescan beve rym
islea  ding.

                  R
              e
           g
        a
      r 
   d      e
 s      t
,     e
   P

PS I suspect what triggered my dislike of what I had written is the
number of times I tested for WM_COMMAND, but I don't think there is an
answer to that.
