Thanks for being responsive.

Anything a contributor can do to make it easier for the program's author 
increases the likelihood of the patch being accepted, right?  It was 
really nice to work with a system that is well designed so that 
supporting a new syntax was almost trivially easy.  Thanks for the great 
program!

Which reminds me, I missed at least one thing that needed to be updated 
for protobufs... the docs.  This snippet should be added to my earlier 
patch:

diff --git a/doc/index.html b/doc/index.html
