Embedded-in-the-file gibberish for the benefit of emacs or vi (Emacs
local mode, tab settings, whatever). This even infects the Python
PEPs, which typically end with a control character and
Local Variables:
mode: indented-text
indent-tabs-mode: nil
End:
Storing metadata inside every file is at least as bizarre as
maintaining a database of metadata keyed by file extension.
