Looking through my Web-Braille books I find examples of the first and third
of these. They do not use the in sign.

Really? In the Nero Wolfe mysteries Wolfe has a fit when something is used
as a verb that isn't one. I don't know if using a name as a verb is one of
the cases he would object to. You could add Perined as another exception if
you wish; I think it'd be less confusing if you do it so there aren't
multiple versions of the patch from me. I'll keep it in mind should we come
up against another name that has to be special-cased like this. Thanks.
