It is possible to parse for the next empty line,
but I agree this is a pain, as there are other
artifacts that occur when extra empty lines are

better guide would be to be no longer than any
of the Head/Tail lines, as any slicing that
occurs in the Head/Tail lines will cause more
than normal chaos.
