But it adds 100 bytes per node?  Or maybe 90ish, if there's some sentinel stuff 
on the left anyway.

I know there aren't a lot of systems where drivespace is a scarcity, but this 
still seems a little wanton :-)

What about all the editors where they don't just disappear?  I think Emacs 
wraps by default.  And in the editors where they are hidden, I could see them 
getting deleted by accident quite a bit too.  If I have too much whitespace in 
between some defs in a regular editor and I drag select / delete the extra 
lines, couldn't I easily merge some nodes?

Not sure what they'll look like in diff guis, either.

Sorry to be such a wet blanket, I just feel that effective collaborative 
sentinels have to be expressed in zero bytes or less :-)  Like @shadow :-) :-)
