Ah, good question.  I’d lean towards leaving copyright lines unchanged
when removing text, but I don’t know if there’s a preferred way.

I this particular case, the spelled-out name would be ‘literal’, but we
can’t use it because it’s a pattern variable.  So… an exception.  :-)

This one yes; fixed!

Probably we should rewrite en bloc with a sed script.

We first need to reencode as UTF-8 and leftover Latin-1 files.

Done.

Pushed as 424bef0d0aac2a5a8607cf9f76a6def5ee0ca183!

Thanks,  :-)
