 yeah the leo project shows a better way forward, there: they use
specially-formatted comments to identify code blocks that have been
edited through leo.

 well you gave it a damn good shot, so you know what you're talking
about.  this is why any conversion has to be done _carefully_, without
disrupting existing code.

 it's ok - i believe i took care of moving most of the code back.  i
