Yes, sorry, I was on a slow mobile connection due to DSL breakage...

I think we assume in general that textconv produces text, which is maybe
not completely surprising given its name ;)

I added them after the fact. They can be squashed in, of course. On the
other hand you don't see the change in behavior that the latter patches
introduce any more if you that; which is why I left them separate at

I had failed to reference.
