Care to send a patch?

There's more by the way:

   $ git grep -c '^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*()' t/*.sh | awk -v FS=: '{c[substr($1,1,4)]+=$2} END {for (x in c) print x "*.sh:" c[x]}'
   t/t0*.sh:16
   t/t1*.sh:35
   t/t2*.sh:3
   t/te*.sh:2
   t/t3*.sh:22
   t/t4*.sh:23
   t/t5*.sh:68
   t/t6*.sh:11
   t/t7*.sh:40
   t/t8*.sh:1
   t/t9*.sh:31
   t/li*.sh:26

Personally I'd like to avoid wasting space and the second form looks odd
to me, which turned me into a repeat offender out of negligence, I
guess.  Anyway, since we have a documented rule (that came about by
majority vote of code lines IIUC) we should follow it.
