Using an FSF Emacs built from today's sources, I ran this. It
prompted for replacement in comments, and after 'if', 'while', etc, as
well as on function definitions and function/macro calls.

I could literally break the 'y' and 'n' keys on my keyboard if I
follow through with that, I think :-).

Note that I used a literal TAB character in the regexp, instead of \t,
because Emacs warned me interactively that that's the New Right Way to
do it.

I think some modified version of Peter's elisp is probably going to be
the way to go here. I'll take a look.
