Subject: Extending emacs convention for first line
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2022 21:40:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <trinity-36e98133-45df-49ee-9555-13b204f28786-1666035614086@3c-app-mailcom-bs04> (raw)

Emacs convention states that the format for the first line is

;;; filename --- description  -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-

Because at the times one does notice longer filenames and descriptions,
it would be favorable if the convention would be extended to handle longer
filenames and descriptions.

For instance, using ;;; to distinguish, with "lexical-binding" still written first.

;;; -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-

;;; filename

;;; description

Or some other way that would work nicely.
