Come to think of it, JIRA makes this more obvious by graying out the links on
all the older files.

In this particular case, there was a bug in the first patch which was
corrected in the second.  I was hesitant to remove the first because I figured
committer review would be easier if you could see how the two patches had
changed.

Then the third patch obsoleted both of them by being faster, correct (as far
as I can tell, better than patch 1 at least), and easier to grok.  It does
take a different approach, particularly in u8_charnum(), and that contrast has
been lost.  But oh well.
