As far as I'm concerned, this change is reasonable; but let's wait
until next week to see if anyone else has a reason for the current
behavior. (I don't think anyone will; just being cautious.)

Please trim all this next time :-)

It's usually better to include ChangeLog entries as text, not as diffs.
When they're diffs, they invariably generate patch rejects later on.

Just one blank line between entries, please.

Two spaces after periods.  (Eli, does TeX actually care about that, or
is it just good for consistency?)

Please don't add new tests to just mi2-stack.exp.  I don't much care
whether mi2-stack.exp is updated or not, but when we finalize mi3 and
create mi3-* tests, they're going to be copied from mi-*.  So it's
important that new tests go there also.
