Your call, but ... I don't recommend it.  It's very cluttery, and I've found the
demand for that kind of lookup tends to drop off after conversion faster than
people expect it will.

I suspect we do this with more regularity than most projects. Hell, Iregularly wish we had all the emacs backups files from the old mitmachines (they were unfortunately purged regularly to make space).
