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

I understand the frustration=E2=80=93after all you=E2=80=99ve already spent=
 quite some
time on the package I suppose and the functional part is completely
fine.

However I think it=E2=80=99s important to work on maintaining a good level =
of
quality for these things.  It might look like nitpicking, but it=E2=80=99s
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=E2=80=99.
