Re "behavior" vs "behaviour", etc.
- GNU Emacs originated in the US.
- If there is a choice between US vs UK spelling for a word
for new text (code, docs), choose the US variant.
- It's probably (IMHO --ttn, 2017-10-13) not a high priority to
change existing text; use your best judgement (ask if unsure).
