Yes, you are right. I had such a change to t/README but it was mixed in with
another patch to document other such variables which was incomplete. (see my
previous mail in response to your comments on patch 4/14).

Also, I was half expecting you to drop the patch, because I thought I was in
the minority with an old sed; however, it seems I'm not that unusual after
all ... ;-)
