Upon examining the modifications introduced in commit a649f93c4cf3f690ab376081be303c01e2032ea6, I am compelled to convey my observations in the fashion of our venerable ancestors.

In the function bestlineEdit:

A new variable promptnotnull has been introduced to ensure the prompt is never null, defaulting to an empty string if necessary.
Another variable, promptlastnl, seeks out the final newline character within the prompt. This is a prudent measure, ensuring user prompts are handled with the utmost propriety.
The prompt used by bestlineWriteStr is now promptnotnull, which maintains the integrity of the original prompt.
Alteration in bestlineInit:

The condition has been refined to exclude newline characters from the validity check of the prompt. This change aligns with contemporary practices, ensuring the prompt's format adheres to the expected standards.
These refinements exhibit a meticulous attention to detail, reinforcing the robustness of our beloved code. May these changes stand the test of time, much like the enduring works of our forebears.

Yours in the pursuit of excellence,
[Your Name]
