I don't think this patch is really what you think it is.  Perhaps it
looks that way because of the way I wrote the ChangeLog entries.  I
was trying to preserve Dan's original log text, but I think if I just
write a log entry from scratch, it will make a lot more sense.  But do
look at the actual patch, and I think you'll see what I mean.

Oh, there is one random fix in linespec.c that should be segregated.
I'll fix that.  But folks are acting as if it's some kind of horrible
HP-style snowball, and that's not so.
