That would fit into the spirit of Emacs documentation, but calling it
a "missed opportunity" supposes that we have an opportunity to do it.
Do we have an opportunity? Maybe, but I tend to doubt it. I tend to
think that doing this correctly is a big job; a simple search and
replace will get confused and make mistakes.
I could be mistaken. If it turns out to be easy, why not? But I don't
think this is important enough to be worth a lot of work.
