 entity for it (maybe neither).

You're right, there could be another entity for ^. asciicirc is good
enough as a name.  Would you want to make a patch for it?

Also, you may want to consider signing FSF papers for more important
contributions.

 Anyway; attaching the relevant patch (changelog tweaked), once again
 hoping I got the formatting and everything right.

Applied. Thanks again.

Yes, I'll do both those things, so don't worry about the patch.  Might 
have to wait until next week though.

Thanks for doing this.  Note that the process of getting your papers
from FSF might take some time.

Best,

Also attached is another patch that might or might not be useful.
Sometimes it can be a problem when you can't type, say, asterisks
around a word when you NEED asterisks around the word, not a boldface
word (I'd been getting around it by using Unicode characters that look
like asterisks, like ∗). The way to do it right is to use the \ast
entity, which expands to the right thing but doesn't affect
formatting. There's also already a \tilde entity, to allow putting in
tildes without accidentally setting something verbatim. I added
entities for the remaining markup characters: \plus, \under, \equal,
and \slash. \under might be particularly handy when avoiding
subscripting (which raises the question of if there should be an
\asciicirc (or something) entity for ^ also).

I think they are all useful. Though, asciicirc already exists as circ.
