Also applying this will have an unpleasant fallout to merging the
endgame patch b2ed944a (push: switch default from "matching" to
"simple", 2013-01-04). The added text needs to be corrected with an
evil merge.
I'd prefer to having worry about such a fallout only once. Which
arguably we already did when we came up with the current message, so
I am fairly annoyed by this patch coming loooooong after we
concluded the original discussion.
Sigh X-<. I'll worry about this later, as b2ed944a is in 'next'
during the feature freeze, and I'd prefer not having to rebase it on
top of the final version of this patch.
