The patch was actually inline in my email from 2024-07-14 rather than
being an attached file.  It is easier to read and comment on patches
this way unless they are big.  Normally, patch is good (in fact,
astoundingly good) at ignoring irrelevant text, so all you need to do is
save the email to a file ~/foo.patch, followed by

    $ cd .../lisp/progmodes
    $ patch < ~/foo.patch

..  However, I'm attaching the patch to this mail again, anyway.
