Hello Donna;

That "y. -> y" is a simple search-and-replace is something I didn't feel in my gut. If that was your experience, fine. The irreversibility of that kind of change made me hesitate to consider it.

Using a simple search-and-replace "y. -> y" didn't work for me because I use "try."
I used this sequence of search-and-replace:

try. -> tryXX.
y. -> y
tryXX. -> try.

Other possible problems involve for loop indices.
 I.e. "for_xx." would be affected by "x. -> x"

Chris Burke had already put a script for batch conversion in j-wiki sometime ago. It is really simple to do conversion using that script. It may be a good idea to mention it inside release note.
