I've changed my mind. Leo will continue to support the --black-sentinels command-line option. This option affects only Leo's *write* code, but PR #3678 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/pull/3678> will improve the corresponding *read* code. *Aha: there is little need for blackened sentinels!* Those using Leo in an environment that mandates Black formatting are likely using @clean or @auto to avoid using sentinels. I prefer Orange (Leo's formatter) to Black when formatting Leo's sources. Compatibility with Black is not an issue! *Summary* Few Leonistas will likely ever use the --black-sentinels command-line option, but there is no reason to remove it. *Mandating* Black-compatible sentinels would be a blunder. PR #3678 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/pull/3678> will make Leo's read code more robust.
