Anyone reading a transformed version should see the real ^s, so the question is whether it's clearer for someone reading the .txt file to see a mixture with a passing resemblance to a few lines earlier, or just to see {caret} consistently.
5 {caret} is fine by me.For more consistency, there are three other ^s in the file could which could also be changed, but none of them cause breakage now.
