A line is now read only when its value starts with a visible character rather than a space. Before, any text after the colon counted as the value.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis corrects how one unusual case is parsed. A key with nothing but spaces after it is no longer read as having a value.\n\n- Area: Settings\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
