Foremost thanks for rolling the thing back again. Much appreciated.

It did occur to me before emailing thatI might as well remove it again. However, since the v4  change notice
explictly mentioned that v4 was re-made from your prior v3 commit — to not lose the commentary updates —
it seemed more like a passing-it-on---again. So I left it.

If it risks messing with your workflow — sorry.

Then again, since the whole thing made a loop out of what’s normally a fairly linear process,
seemed, to me, potentially messy either way. At that point.
