 Replying to [comment:13 scribu]:
 > If we can knowingly break many plugins with #14915, I think we can also
 afford to potentially break a few plugins with extremely weird header
 definitions.
 We don't bargain like that. #14915 was a change deliberately made to fix
 an important inconsistency. Here, the fix for an extreme edge bug has the
 potential to introduce some much more noticeable bugs, like a plugin no
 longer being considered valid and thus deactivating itself.

 I'm asking for research, and potentially unit tests. A grep of "Plugin
 Name:" through the entire repo should show every preceding character in
 use, and patterns could be drawn.
