Shorthand for 'nitpicking'.

"giving too much attention to details that are not important, especially
as a way of criticizing: "

	- https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/nitpicking

Via email this is a way for authors of an email to indicate something is
technically wrong but while nicely acknowledging that it is not very
significant and could be seen as overly critical.

For this particular comment I'm showing something to pay attention to next
time but that was not a big deal this time around.

Based on this response[*] from Tvrtko I think this version can move
through without a v3.

Thanks!

Thanks all! I'll just re-send the patch for our CI, since it didn't get
picked up automatically (stuck in moderation perhaps), with all r-b tags
added and extra line space removed and merge it if results will be green.

Regards,

Tvrtko
