indicate some text that is obvious from context, or which is

already known. If several words are to be replaced, blurgle

may well be doubled or trebled. "To look for something in

several files use "{grep} string blurgle blurgle"." In each

case, "blurgle blurgle" would be understood to be replaced by

the file you wished to search. Compare {mumble}.
