Heh :-) Filing a bug report about my horrible memory seems wrong.

Sure. It just caught my attention today because this is probably
the first time I've seen such a large batch of changes in one email
like that. Which has no doubt happened endless times in the past,
but I never noticed it until today for some reason.

Mostly this jars my OCD by having some of it in diff format, and
some not. I'll get over it.
