+This file provides two functions for dealing with bio metadata. The
+functions are:
+
+ -  __`processBio(content)` :__
+    Processes `content` to extract any frontmatter. The returned
+    object has two properties: `text`, which contains the text of
+    `content` sans-frontmatter, and `metadata`, which is an array
+    of key-value pairs (in two-element array format). If no
+    frontmatter was provided in `content`, then `metadata` will be
+    an empty array.
+
+ -  __`createBio(note, data)` :__
+    Reverses the process in `processBio()`; takes a `note` and an
+    array of two-element arrays (which should give keys and values)
+    and outputs a string containing a well-formed bio with
+    frontmatter.

+/*********************************************************************\
+
+                                       To my lovely code maintainers,
+
+  The syntax recognized by the Mastodon frontend for its bio metadata
+  feature is a subset of that provided by the YAML 1.2 specification.
+  In particular, Mastodon recognizes metadata which is provided as an
+  implicit YAML map, where each key-value pair takes up only a single
+  line (no multi-line values are permitted). To simplify the level of
+  processing required, Mastodon metadata frontmatter has been limited
+  to only allow those characters in the `c-printable` set, as defined
+  by the YAML 1.2 specification, instead of permitting those from the
+  `nb-json` characters inside double-quoted strings like YAML proper.
+    ¶ It is important to note that Mastodon only borrows the *syntax*
+  of YAML, not its semantics. This is to say, Mastodon won't make any
+  attempt to interpret the data it receives. `true` will not become a
+  boolean; `56` will not be interpreted as a number. Rather, each key
+  and every value will be read as a string, and as a string they will
+  remain. The order of the pairs is unchanged, and any duplicate keys
+  are preserved. However, YAML escape sequences will be replaced with
+  the proper interpretations according to the YAML 1.2 specification.
+    ¶ The implementation provided below interprets `<br>` as `\n` and
+  allows for an open <p> tag at the beginning of the bio. It replaces
+  the escaped character entities `&apos;` and `&quot;` with single or
+  double quotes, respectively, prior to processing. However, no other
+  escaped characters are replaced, not even those which might have an
+  impact on the syntax otherwise. These minor allowances are provided
+  because the Mastodon backend will insert these things automatically
+  into a bio before sending it through the API, so it is important we
+  account for them. Aside from this, the YAML frontmatter must be the
+  very first thing in the bio, leading with three consecutive hyphen-
+  minues (`---`), and ending with the same or, alternatively, instead
+  with three periods (`...`). No limits have been set with respect to
+  the number of characters permitted in the frontmatter, although one
+  should note that only limited space is provided for them in the UI.
+    ¶ The regular expression used to check the existence of, and then
+  process, the YAML frontmatter has been split into a number of small
+  components in the code below, in the vain hope that it will be much
+  easier to read and to maintain. I leave it to the future readers of
+  this code to determine the extent of my successes in this endeavor.
+
+  UPDATE 19 Oct 2017: We no longer allow character escapes inside our
+  double-quoted strings for ease of processing. We now internally use
+  the name "ƔAML" in our code to clarify that this is Not Quite YAML.
+
+                                       Sending love + warmth eternal,
+                                       - kibigo [@kibi@glitch.social]
