Well, it says, "In the text marked at front and back by @@@, change:"

Then there's text marked with @@@s. So whether or not you want it to change
itself, it says it's going to. Which is okay, because it's not a revision -
it doesn't 'reconsider' itself and then modify itself, it just modifies
itself.
