I think the value of this first one is not "on the off-chance" thing, but
the presense of this change makes it far easier to eyeball the result of
applying the second, large-ish patch.

If I were doing this as a series, I would probably have followed them up
with a patch that reverts the token replacement this first one does as the
final patch in the series, but I also think leaving this first patch as-is
is fine.
