+* Here we try to use three different trailer keys. But it fails because

+Recall that a trailer key has to consist of only ASCII alphanumeric
+characters and hyphens, and this does not hold for the two first
+supposed trailer keys. And now none are recognized as trailers because
+the candidate trailer block has at least one non-trailer line, even
+though `Reviewed-by` is a valid trailer key. Recall that a trailer block
+has to either (i) be all trailers, or (ii) consist of at least one
+Git-generated or user-configured trailer (and some other conditions).
+And (ii) is not satisfied since we have not configured any trailer keys.
