Which is intentional. This is the 'prior behavior' that I mentioned Eli
didn't want to change so as not to 'break backward compatability'. It's

I don't mind. My original submission had no duplicate text. Eli might
mind.

One possible benefit of Eli's position is that someone might want to
save the trail buffer to a file and expect the title string. Another
benefit would be if there exists third-party code written to parse the
buffer expecting to delete the first two lines.
