Having slept on it, I do prefer '--cut-here--' because it's
self-documenting, whereas '"""' is not.

I had thought that '"""' would be easier to test for, and
that testing for '--cut-here--' would require regex lookback:

but now I've found a way to do that without lookback.
Therefore, we won't have to look it up every time, because
'make check_concinnity' will tell us exactly what to do.

I'll push this after a comprehensive system test.
