Martin Panter added the comment:

Mouse, I know you originally opened this against 3.5. Apart from the module 
description at the bottom, my patch should be valid for 3.5 also. The relevant 
wording is identical to 2.7.

I have resisted removing the magic number 57 for a couple of reasons. Reading 
existing code that uses this number may be harder. David said he would be 
happier with it kept. I believed we could solve your original complaint and 
explain why the number was really there at the same time. It helps explain how 
the function was originally to be used, and why the newline is appended.

Anyway, I think it is best if I let this go, and someone else pick it up.
