Weird. Certainly looks like a mistake. I'm not sure what I was 
thinking (if anything). I agree that shouldn't be there.

I have noticed that since I installed the latest WheelMouse extension 
in jEdit it occasionally likes to paste  the contents of the 
clipboard in unexpected places. I think it's doing that when I press 
the mouse wheel by accident. That's perhaps what happened here. 
Normally it results in a syntax error, but in this case I guess I was 
unlucky. Anyway, we agree. Don't check this in. It doesn't make sense.
