Ouch, good eyes. Obviously should be "comparisons"---I've amended
locally but will hold onto the new version for a bit.

As this topic is not in next yet, I presume that sending a new version
with the typofix is the correct thing to do. I'll wait a while today
to see if any other comments trickle in.
Yeah, and in the meantime I'll locallly amend what I have.  If we do
not hear any other issues in a few days perhaps we can do without
the final reroll that way.

Thanks.
