So we are talking about ~10% overhead to be able to read the knit in a
text editor. I'm willing to make that trade.

Also, I wanted to bring up the 'incomplete' marking in the index. It
makes it seem like there is something missing in the entry. I think
using "noeol" or something like that would be better. It is shorter,
which is good, but more importantly it doesn't sound scary. :)
