Why would: $$(ECHO) -n '$$($1_OVERVIEW_TEXT)' be better than $$(PRINTF) "%s" '$$($1_OVERVIEW_TEXT)' ? We're kind of squabbling over details here, and it really doesn't matter as much, but I don't think there is really anything to gain by going down that route. If nothing else, `echo -n` seems like less widespread knowledge (Erik didn't know, I knew but had forgot since I never use it). In contrast, I believe the printf syntax is a bit more well known. But sure, I can use `echo -n` instead of `printf` where possible. Just give me one good reason why. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/24415#discussion_r2028838781
