I think you did not understand as I wanted. The source I wrote may end up with
three, four or five void lines. What if I wanted these kind of results?
''
blabla
blublu
''
or
''
blabla
yyy
blublu
''
...
I can only think of bad-looking nix code to achieve that.
It is not that I care a lot about the layout of text in result files, but if
there is a way I could write better (both source and results), why not adopt
it? :)
