Just gotta say, that’s pretty brain-dead tricky. To produce the same  
output, I’m sure I would have some a bunch of mapping and joining and  
iterating and thought I was tricky when I wrote "P "\*8.

I particularly like how you’ve used extra whitespace inside the  
interpolation block to preserve the monospace markup. Well done! 🙂
