Thanks, this version looks fine. FWIW, you may consider this:

Aside: I was rather surprised to see this output from git-am when applying v4:

    Applying: tests: adjust whitespace in chainlint expectations
    .git/rebase-apply/patch:205: new blank line at EOF.
    +
    .git/rebase-apply/patch:219: new blank line at EOF.
    +
    warning: 2 lines add whitespace errors.

But upon investigating the two "test" files in question,
dqstring-line-splice.test and dqstring-no-interpolate.test, I recalled
that I had to play tricks to escape the single-quote context created
by the Makefile when generating t/chainlinttmp/tests in order to allow
chainlint.pl to see a double-quoted string. So, the abovementioned
blank lines are indeed expected output from chainlint.pl given the
tricks played.
