 Umm, I didn't know about your rule and thought the change along with its 
heading speaks for itself.  Sorry about that.  On second thoughts I agree 
a proper justification is due even for such a mechanical change.

 Obviously the quoted explanatory sentence as it stands would qualify as 
clutter if recorded in GIT for posterity, i.e. what would be its value for 
someone examining past changes say 10 years from now?  I'll think of 
something more suitable then and repost the series in a few days' time in 
case someone has further comments I'll take into account about any of 
these changes, so as to minimise noise (which has become hard to deal with 
already).  Ralf seems to have vanished recently, so I guess it'll take a 
bit for these changes to move forward anyway.

 Thanks for your feedback, always appreciated.

  Maciej
