When you add one single line to your help (say, "Bla bla.") the warning
disappears. So you hit this test:
    "please write a paragraph that describes the config symbol fully\n" . $herecurr) if ($is_start && $is_end && $length < 4);

because the paragraph was just three lines. It seems a length of one,
two, or three lines can be OK. It depends. Perhaps the test should just
be:
    [...] && $length);
