Maybe more appropriate is a ;)  Thanks.

When you get a chance, could you comment on the
RFC patch to convert the <.> in KERN_<LEVEL>
to an ascii SOH.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/24/350

It doesn't / shouldn't affect any output anywhere
as vprintk_emit converts it back to <.> for the
actual output, it saves some space, and it makes
KERN_CONT/pr_cont unnecessary as anything other
than a notational marker.
