Graham,

Thanks very much for your help, and I'm sorry for adding extra stuff to your 
plate at an inopportune time.  Please let me know what I could do to prevent 
this from happening again - I try to follow the review process as fastidiously 
as possible, and am always looking to be more meticulous about making sure that 
my work does not have unanticipated negative impacts.

As for the convert-ly rule, I was under the impression that these rules were 
pushed on a version-to-version basis, and all syntax changes were written as 
one rule before the rolling of the next version.  The last time I added one was 
because the versions had changed and a rule didn't exist for the version during 
which a commit of mine happened.  Please let me know how you want me to go 
about this in the future - if there could be an entry in the CG about it, 
that'd help a great deal.

Cheers,
MS
