Oops, sorry about that. I did hand edit the diff because at the last second I saw a typo (particulary --> particularly), but I had already written the email so I didn't want to do `format-patch` again. I did not rewrap, nor did I manually change the 6 to a 7. I did use emacs though, which, when I tried to recreate it right now, seems to change the 6 to a 7 when I touch any of the changed lines.

Sorry about that. I will turn off emacs diff mode and try to be more careful next time. Please let me know if you want me to resend.

Thanks, Tarmigan
