::sigh::  This wouldn't happen if we just always used += for all lines
in lists of things, but sadly (IMO, surrealistically), style.Makefile
explicitly prohibits that.  I'm not sure what value the prohibition is
supposed to provide, but the downsides are making this mistake over and
over again, and if you manage to avoid the mistake your consolation
prize is a diff that's less-clear because you have to change lines that
aren't actually involed in the change you're making.
