Since nobody else seems to have mentioned this, I will. The reference
form "entire contents" has, in my experience, proven to be thoroughly
unreliable. It misses things it should have picked up. I've run test
where I looked for the same thing using "entire contents" and "the
entries in" (from Akua) and found several hits in the Akua version that
were missed in the "entire contents" version.
