Hi. I am author of that sentence and this is NACK from me.

As you've said... I don't see anything confusing about that.
The warning was added for a reason, because there was discussion
about some people writing extra characters in there, which might
cause issues down the line if we refactor the code in future.

Exactly. Thank you.
