Yup.

I found a different method to renumber articles, though.  I've
altered the prunehistory command to overwrite the storage token in
the history file with a new storage token.  That's possible since the
tokens have identical length.  And that pretty much achieves
everything I need.  (I also have to alter the Xrefs header, do a
rebuild of the overview file and do at "ctlinnd renumber group", but
that's easy enough.  :-)
