It seems to work as advertised, thanks. One request: the plan is to move all of the documentation-related tools into tools/docs once the churn settles a bit. Rather can making us ... rename ... these, can you just create them there in the first place? At that point, the "documentation-" prefix on the names would also be unnecessary. The programs need SPDX lines at the top. Can we also get a brief comment block at the beginning of each saying what they do and how to run them? I'm not convinced about ".renames" as a hidden file, but I guess I'm not deeply opposed to it either. Thanks, jon
