Thanks for working through all sixteen of them -- the series is
noticeably better for it.

Agreed. Dongliang, if you are happy with that, I will send the
量化/啟發式 corrections as a separate patch covering both zh_CN and
zh_TW once this lands, as you suggested.

Either works for me. Since the series only touches zh_TW and the review
is done, taking it directly through the docs tree would save a hop --
but Alex kindly offered to route zh_TW patches through his tree earlier,
so I am equally happy to go that way if that is the established path.

Jon, Alex: whichever is less work for you.
