You're not being nitpicky, Bob.  I too find them disgusting.  You just beat
me to posting a response concerning it.  :-).

I enjoy using Elm.  It seems apparent though that someone got a little
wild with 'proper' punctuation.  In my opinion, the '[]' enclosure is
sufficient for closing punctation on Elm's messages.  Why overdo it?

Other than the above item, the new version is nice.  Good job, guys.
