That was a botch.  It should say:

And since I changed `device` to stop reading its argument (there's really only
one, scanned until the end of the line, like `tm`) *in copy mode*, here is the
"NEWS" entry.

Also, there is goofery in the synopsis of `device` and `\X` in our Texinfo
manual (we need just @var{contents} and no ellipses), and I already have a
TODO screenshot on my tablet to remind me to fix that.
