This was an annoying idea when first put in, but given his status was strange to comment on....at this point, I think that it should either be left alone, or, if changed, find something that will always be true. possibly NOT pointing to a particular person or company....

💯 agree. “VariantCallFormatSampleText” would suffice and is of the same size as the existing text.

Also it would be good to put $ 0xF0 | 0x07 = 0xF7 $ in maths mode (possibly with more \mathrm{}) to fix the OR operators while making changes here.

In particular, use a string that is not subject to change!
Hat tip Thomas Colthurst. Closes samtools#363.

Also fix a|b formatting and note that the inline/overflow boundary
is >= 15 rather than > 15.
