Yes, I am!
I was using:

git grep -Ovi ": ::"

This takes at most a few minutes to go through all the matches and
substitute them all in the same way. Actually, when the number of
changes is still not prohibitive such as here, my personal preference is
to check each instance before making the substitution (just alternating
between "n" and "." in vim) to make sure it's not a special case that
would be different. Otherwise, I'd have to inspect each line in the
generated patch which would be an equivalent effort, wouldn't it?

By the way, which remaining occurrences did you find?

Many thanks for the feedback,

Michael.
