(sorry, I should be following up two messages upthread, but I don't seem
to have saved that one)
I've finally put in the www changes.
Mention hardening of conditionals (added in gcc 13), control flow
redundancy, hardened booleans, and stack scrubbing.
Also cover forced inlining of string operations while at that.
