Ah, thanks.  I /did/ miss that point, and it's a good one.

That's correct, but a file in input/new/ with the same name will
take precadence.  That's in case the syntax changes in a
non-convert-ly-able way; we dump the manually-updated snippet in
input/new/.


This is easily solved; the python script that copies from
input/new/ to input/lsr/ should add a "This snippet only works in
2.13"; that way, the LSR editor can easily see such snippets from
browsing the docs.
