In the general case, such an extraction mechanism would be far too fragile since there are no guarantees that the commentary in the "Notes:" section hasn't been hand-edited after patch-generation. However, it's certainly possible that such a simple-minded extraction technique might be applicable in some well-controlled development pipeline somewhere. If we are worried about that, then we can drop this patch series.
