Perhaps the point I was trying to make got lost in my slightly
facetious reply: if we're talking about LSR snippets which are in the
docs, the LSR editor must be mindful of the fact that editing such
examples in LSR may have no effect, since they can be shadowed by
revised snippets in input/lsr.

There's no point in retagging `Outputting the version number' in LSR
if it's going to be ignored when makelsr.py is run.
