Thanks! Applied in r11941.
Couple of (minor) things to watch out for: I think after you changed
"/" to "->" in the first hunk, you must have used your editor's
refill-paragraph function (or reflow, or whatever it's called). This
had two interesting effects: it made the diff look bigger than it
actually is, and it made there be one space after a sentence-ending
period instead of two spaces. We actually try to use two spaces.
I've never been clear on how exactly standard this is, although I know
it didn't start with us. The benefits of using two spaces are
slightly improved readability, and being able to use sentence-motion
commands in editors.
Again, very minor, just pointing these things out for next time.
