It should be a very cosmetic change, basically search&replace with the
only trick being in making sure we touch all places needed and
only them.  No structural change should be needed anywhere.
So, even if it can introduce breakage, it shouldn't make anything more
complex at all.

Software should be soft.  If we don't change it every once in a while,
it hardens,
