Is that "starts with" or "consists solely of"?

It is starts with. (The starts_with() function is used.)

Wouldn't it be more robust to do it the other way?  I can imagine cases when
a human might want to start a line of text with "---", whereas we can make
sure that git tools always use a plain "---" line with no extra text.

Not a big deal either way though.  Thanks for working on this!
