(No, but it's a good word).  I have no intention of deleting that section
of code when I install 2.11.  I think the restriction is, in general, A
Good Thing, and I'm going to make the very trivial mods required to do
checking only if the article is bigger than, say, 20 lines.  I see the
FASCIST option as one to be applied punitively (and for the Greater Good,
of course), not one to be used against users who ignorantly/carelessly/
innocently don't edit down included text.
