Oh, indeed - the signature placement is just plain wrong, and the quote
line is bad too (although not insurmontable, and more informative than
some). It just seems silly to pull it up for faults that don't exist
(and this cursor placment seems to be the favourite) when there are so
many real ones to complain about.
