Actually, the form feed character is sometimes used to divide a program into logical blocks, mostly in lisp code but also in python and c/c++ code (for instance, it's part of the GCC code style). A form feed character placed alone on a line acts as a logical page break, which can be used by the text editor or IDEs for efficient navigation and various display options. For example emacs has `narrow-to-page` and `forward-page` / `backward-page` commands (narrow mode).
Thanks for the info. I had tried to find some examples online of where this form feed escape character might have been used, but it was hard to find much. This gives more insight into the topic 👍
You should totally have titled the video what the \f
When obscure backward-compatibility starts to look like undefined behavior.
There comes a point where backwards compatability causes more problems for the majority and appeals to a very small minority
