I agree. This is something I did in very early versions of JtR, and it
just stayed in there. Some years back, I finally regretted doing it.
Maybe we should drop this undocumented special handling now, given that
it's a minor detail and is probably not replicated by other tools
implementing similar rule commands. If you drop this from jumbo now, I
will also drop it from core.
