This is a perfect example of "over-complexification" - Why didn't you
just use "D" instead of "${MY_PN:0:1}" ?

While technically not /wrong/ - it is harder to read for no gain. I'm
confident that our fellow devs can read this but I think we should all
strive for being more user-friendly.

Thanks,
Jeremy
