My response was meant for the list, but went to Peter by mistake. So I 
repeat it with some delay:

Right you are! It doesn't do anything. I remember my idea was to pad the 
substitutes list by one, because the list of intervening text segments 
is longer by one element and zip uses the least common length, 
discarding all overhang. The remedy was totally ineffective and, what's 
more, not needed, judging by the way the editor performs as expected.

Right you are again! I did mean text. I changed a few names to make them 
more suggestive, and apparently missed this one.
