No real reason; the asciidoc parser accepts two together so I left them
there. Anyone reading a transformed version should see the real ^s,
so the question is whether it's clearer for someone reading the .txt
file to see a mixture with a passing resemblance to a few lines earlier,
or just to see {caret} consistently.
5 {caret} is fine by me.
For more consistency, there are three other ^s in the file could which
could also be changed, but none of them cause breakage now.
