Thanks. However, I noticed that this change makes it so our
semi-automated copyright year updates would fail to change this usage:
that script doesn't account for the use of "\en" in place of "-". It's
an already too-complex script, and I am loath to complicate it further
just to support this use case, so am inclined to revert this one hunk:
