In the CHANGES-4.4 document, section 4. New Features in Readline
lists zero items but is immediately followed by some text, which
makes it seem that this text are the new features in readline.
In the CHANGES document, empty sections have been left out (for
the most part). So the first attached patch does this too for
the current document. And the second patch does this for the
historical document. They also make some other small changes.
