Thanks, Mike, for your quick reply to my query sent to the Developers' list on 6-Dec-2012.
FWIW: I sent that query only after doing "svn update" with responses "at revision 3181" for the [N/O]PL and "at revision 7146" for both pg and webwork2. I infer this is a case where the subversion and git repositories are out-of-sync. (For my immediate use, I will place the file using the path in my original note rather than the one in your message, i.e., I will omit "blob/master/".)
