Add the .in macros around .EX there? There are 1528 .EX's in the tree, but a short perl script should be able to fix them all up. Note: there are 336 .EX's that do not have the .in, and two .EX's that do not have a closing .EE. Turns out Gemini is good at perl. Anyway, doing this as a postprocessor would let us purge the hacks and make .EX/.EE properly semantic again, while retaining our desired appearance. It's also one more bit of folklore new authors won't need to learn ;-)
