In some cases, it will be useful to repeat the Program short description, then
(for those who start reading after the license notice). Like this:

    Prologue part 1 (2 lines with #!)
    Program short description
    Copyright and license notice
    Written-by notice
    Program short description (optional)
    Program long description
    Prologue part 2
    Time stamp
    Code

Would that be OK with you?
