Funnily enough I thought you were talking not about the ">" string but
about the "It[']s" so I was surprised you said " " instead of "" since
indeed you could write it as just:
Actual value is never used, but must be one character long.
and I was wondering why you'd want to use a leading space in
that sentence ;-O
