The reason here is mostly that I do not know whether this can be rigged.
I cannot state without a doubt that no command may output "hint:" at the
start of a line that may _not_ actually be an advice. Think for example
(and I know this example is dumb because advice goes to stderr, not
stdout) git-cat-file(1) with a blob that contains a line saying "hint:".
