Among programmers there's a very strong tendency to place punctuation
outside a quoted string, contrary to the standard rules of English
usage, unless the punctuation is itself logically part of the string.
Probably this tendency comes in part from being told by the compiler that
p = "ab;"
is an error whereas
p = "ab";
is correct. :-)
At any rate, you'll probably find that many Linux developers will feel
that the correction above (and other ones like it in your patch) should
not be made.
