Few years ago I reported that I can't put a character in the most bottom-right corner when setting my own statusline. Bram responded that this was intentional, as some (presumably already ancient) terminal emulators had problems with

As a general point I agree that it would be better that a flag disables replies to the entire subthread (although it shouldn't [dead] it), just because 99% of the time they're just not good discussions. However, the claim that thi

You said your name to the civil servant, and they might "misspell" it. That is: it's recorded "correctly" somewhere (e.g. birth certificate) but somewhere along the line it becomes "wrong" (registering you
