Oh-oh, I made a horrid mistake. The intention was not to change an existing
feature, it was to add new macros
\elevenrm, \elevenbf, \elevenit, \eightsf, \ninesf, \tensf, \elevensf
and \twelvesf.
Unfortunately I forgot to change "eight" to "eleven" and since I only
used the sans-serif ones it didn't show up in testing. :-(
