This is internal implementation detail. The only news is a bug fix, which
we don't usually put in NEWS.

This is full of implementation details too. NEWS should only mention
things that make sense to a user of the library who has never read the
source.
For everything that is just part of fixing some bugs, I don't think we need
to list them in NEWS at all.
