Thank you!  Looks great.  This fix didn't make it into the 20240701-1
upload of gnulib into Debian, but hopefully I'll be able to take care of
it before the next upload.

It would be nice if the documentation is moved to the gnulib texinfo
manual, but as I haven't tried git-merge-changelog yet I'm not the best
person to work on that.
