Now that we're on final approach, I've attempted, today, to enforce the new 
keyword policy, only to find that I don't really know what it is.

I know SCCS keywords are going away.  The RTI nits page, and Val in IRC, focus 
on the "output string" aspect, viz: remove them from modinfo strings.

However:

1) should we not also be removing them from #ident and #pragma ident?  Aren't 
those lines going to be gibberish in the face of Mercurial?

2) Have we agreed on a new form for the two problem children, #ident/#pragma 
ident and the modinfo line?  And if so, can we specify that exactly to avoid as 
much thinking as possible when the new requirements are thrust on gatelings 
innocent of all the discussion and background?
