I also don't expect
$x = '';
$y = " $x ";
to assign '' to $y either, but that's the equlvalent of what you say
form() will do.
I see your point.
I was more worried about arrays of items some of which are empty strings
and having items disappear out my repost because form() throws them

Then you interpolate a single fill character instead of the empty string.

Nope. Formats only generate text lines if at least one of their fields
interpolates at least one character.

Arn't there cases where the overflow field want to be bigger then the
first field? Something the ends up looking like:
LABEL: texttexttextexttexttext

xttexttexttexttexttexttextttex
where LABEL is in one field and text... is in an oveflow block?

The definition given is:
In "And now at length they overflow their banks." its not clear
how an overflow field gets tied to its initial non-overflow field.
In the recipe example given, how does it know to go with the
$method field instead of the $prep_time field? Is it basing off
of matching the horizontal extent of the in
