Follow-up Comment #3:

Fixed in db2bbd805439fcdf9a80addd331b3ef281150629.

Applying the second patch required adjusting the surrounding text, too, which
was still talking about stderr.  While there, i reduced the verbosity
slightly.

The text is still very verbose and quite awkwardly worded with lots of
following ... following ... following ...

Also, there is arguably another minor imprecision below "Draft mode": the two
versions of the example are not equivalent.  In the first version, later
changes to the midpart make no difference, while in the second version, if
midpart is changed before calling print_args a second time, the changes take
effect for the later invocation.  I don't know how to fix that right now
without adding even more confusing verbosity.

I guess eventually Branden will come round to this page...  :-)
