Hmm, you're right, but we seem to be fairly inconsistent in that
department. There are some instances with the comma style:
$ git grep ',.*::$' Documentation/*.txt

But the majority uses the two-line style:
$ git grep -A1 '::$' Documentation/*.txt | egrep '^--$|::$' | perl -ne
'$lastbreak=$. if /^--/; if ($lastbreak<$.-1) {print "$last$_"; $last="";} else
{$last=$_;}'
