And if you wonder why I remember this so acutely, you'll see that my
patch for changing this was reverted about 4 times for varying reasons
(the last iterations because of "unrelated" _documentation_ strings
violating markup predicates).  I think that somebody else recommitted
the final fix after the documentation errors were ironed out because I
had gotten so unnerved at the repeated failures.
