Actually, if you are submitting a patch for inclusion, it is your job
to explain to future readers what the patch does.  Yes, the reader
might not be deeply familiar with the part of fast-export you are
modifying.  It might have even been modified since then, by the time
the reader is looking at the change!

Sad but true.

Thanks,
