Sorry, I am still learning how to use git send-email and I thought it would be handled automatically.
I need to find how to operate it properly and how to configure it to reply in thread instead of
creating new one.

No, I intentionally left them out, as :’foo bar’ is allowed atom, and I didn’t want to complicate
everything word regex. Instead I assumed that these are so rare, that it should not be a problem.

I copied this pattern from other languages, so I assumed that this is what is expected.
It could be fixed, but I think it should be handled in separate patch.
