That is unfortunate.  I guess I won't waste my time on such cleanups in
the future.  Seriously, dismissing those changes as "not needed" is
frustrating.  Those changes really do serve to add consistency.

Your concern about using regex to do renames is valid but hardly reason
to dismiss changes.  Any unwanted change is easily caught by compiling
the result.

I really do hope you'll reconsider taking those rename changes.  I'll
refresh and re-review the changes against r19 if you're willing to
reconsider.
