+// TODO: This function refuses to generate text to be printed on a nametag if
+// you pass it an empty string. It'd be nicer if it explained what the problem
+// was instead of just returning `None`. Thankfully, Rust has a similar
+// construct to `Option` that can be used to express error conditions. Change
+// the function signature and body to return `Result<String, String>` instead
+// of `Option<String>`.
