+Every section answers `204` — or `200` with a Directory body when
+`Accept: application/json` is sent. Inside the quoted `printf` format a
+backslash-newline is LITERAL, not a continuation, so `mk` writes two `printf`s:
+one glued line and one stray backslash is a config file curl rejects, and the
+failure prints as `option -K: is unknown`, never as a bad config line.
