That would fit into the spirit of Emacs documentation, but calling it
a "missed opportunity" supposes that we have an opportunity to do it.

Do we have an opportunity?  Maybe, but I tend to doubt it.  I tend to
think that doing this correctly is a big job; a simple search and
replace will get confused and make mistakes.

I could be mistaken.  If it turns out to be easy, why not?  But I don't
think this is important enough to be worth a lot of work.
