Yes, that's why I feel a bit sad about having to write that, and I
know you will feel angry and sad for it, my apologies.   That said, if
we would have all regtests ending in a barline for some silly reason,
I would probably propose a frogs issue to remove all of the redundant
notes.

Also, the change introduces all kinds of false diffs if the fragment
is close to a single line of length.

I'm not sure of the exact reasoning behind 'frogs' issues, but before
they should be packaged up to be small, so nobody spends many hours on
them. Also, could we dispense on esthetic changes on developer-only
parts (like the regtest) ?
