I sent it to a vote at c224c67557297d7cba909ad008542cb60980cc6b only
to notice a bug in table rendering.  I submitted a pull request fix
that and a missing word which was merged since neither was material.  I
suppose they could have waited or been skipped, but there's no value in
the FCP process being bound by the sort of pointless rigidity that led
to -DPOSIX_MISTAKE in every libc compile line.
