"grudgingly welcome" I guess, and please don't mix it in with other
changes because it just makes things a bit harder to review.
Obiviously one can merge the changes then do a whitespace-ignoring
diff.  In general it's not worth the time in my opinion.

That's worthwhile, thanks.  There could possibly be a 'also known as'
explanation but maybe that doesn't belong in the manual.

I don't think you have yet executed the contributor agreement - could
you please do that at http://www.canonical.com/contributors so that we
can take your patch?

Thanks for this, and please send more!
