I like my adjectives comma-separated, but hey! (you say potato etc.).

'...of unsightly, large gaps.'

Embarrassing.  I did not bother all too much about seeing Patchy complain since
I was not expecting a patch to the stable branch to apply at all.

I was using unsightly as an adverb on "large" rather than as an adjective, so
no.  It's like "dangerously close hornets".

I think that in the final version I'll be taking the content from the updated
authors.itexi instead, so it should not matter.
