  Please inform your niece that the patch has been applied and that the
  lonely "s" need pine away no longer.

  I saw the title and was about to start calling bullshit but then I actually read it and it's honestly the most adorable and wholesome thing. Her patch is greatly needed, and is critically important. I can't believe that such a major bug was missed by the dev team.

  For one second I thought this was, like, Euler’s second coming with a child just looking at code and being like:“Huh, so thats programming? Btw. you made an whoopsie there! frantically pointing”

      And you should not forget that Emacs is way harder when you are 4 because your hands are smaller!
