Ok that's good to know.  What exactly happens when it tries to parse 
them?  Does it not count them or does it fail somehow?  The way the 
output is structured

t/001_basic.pl ..
# Subtest: vacuumlo --help
     ok 1 - exit code 0
     ok 2 - goes to stdout
     ok 3 - nothing to stderr
     1..3
ok 1 - vacuumlo --help

it appears that it should be able to parse it nonetheless and should 
just count the non-indented lines.
