Would it not be acceptable as long as it sticks to the “key: 
information” pattern? Given that all the other lines look like this as 
well, parsers would probably either just match on the key prefix or 
stick this in a hash table, so it would be relatively safe to add a line.

I seem to recall that at one point this argumentation was used for 
adding a line to log or summary? Don’t remember exactly what for though.
