"In my opinion" ... sounds like commit message?

The aforementioned section 8... :)

But the creator of C intended to have z/d, not {w,x}/d, and as {w,x} == y,
I am not sure I like this result. (I have no concrete counter example, just
messy logic)

Makes sense.

CONFLICT(x/d -> y/d vs w/d) ?

"neither ... nor" instead of "not either or"?
