Yeah, I going to object. Sorry Poulenc but to me that doesn't seem a trivial
change. To me a trivial change must be simple enough that I can just read it
and be happy that it doesn't really change anything substantial. With a
global replacement like that I'd have to search through the rules and check
each place, and I don't have the time for that. Although I'm fairly sure
that there wouldn't be any problem with this particular change, I'd rather
we didn't allow global changes as they are so easy to get wrong.
