Thanks for putting it in, Martin! I do my best to not impose American
English, but sometimes I just don't realize. I actually have adopted
several non-American rules because I find them more logical. For
example, I like to put punctuation outside of quotes, such as "this is a
quote", where for some reason in American English it is preferred to put
it as "this is a quote."

Thanks for taking the time to review the patch and commit it.

Scott
