I think one per file would be overkill (and not really helpful
review-wise.)  One per fix would be nice though: one commit for bullet
lists, one for typos, etc.

But I understand it would be boring to do that now that you’ve come up
with that big patch, so either way is fine with me.

What are your concerns and what would you prefer?  (I was left with the
impression that there was a rough consensus in the other thread, but
surely there’s a bias.)

In Emacs it’s quite easily typed (C-x 8 RET etc.), and at worst people
can copy/paste it.  Few descriptions have bullet lists anyway.

Thanks,
