It will.  I tried to spell out the rationale for synopsis and
descriptions:

I understand the frustration–after all you’ve already spent quite some
time on the package I suppose and the functional part is completely
fine.

However I think it’s important to work on maintaining a good level of
quality for these things.  It might look like nitpicking, but it’s
really the kind of polish that makes the tool more pleasant to use IMO.
We all benefit from it in the end.

So, what about sending an updated patch?  :-)

Thanks for your work,
Ludo’.
