It might not be generally useful to keep forever.  I generally have
applied this set of transforms after each of the other semantic patches,
but I can simply refer to "a standard set of transforms" if you think
that's better, or I can post a URL with those somewhere to refer to.

My goal here is simply to avoid needing to include this set of
transformations in each commit message, which would tend to bloat it
considerably.
