Thanks, I must say, I've been doing this open source thing for a long time, and you are the first person ever to send a typo PR accompainied with dictionary definitions!

Not only that, but it's a typo that has existed since 2012!

merged into 5.6.15

You say it like it's a bad thing :) It does seem kind of funny, now that you mention it. In retrospective, I can say the dictionary thing was done purely for myself, since I wasn't sure if you could use "confidant" in such a way.

not at all! you must have been surer that the possibly tens of other people who read to the bottom of the readme though ;)
