Thank!

BTW: did not this report look strange?  Sorry: I started to write down
a very DIFFERENT report — because these docs COMPLETELY confused me,
and I thought that two semantics for the p-adic case “differed by one
extra log”!  Only after writing down ¾ of it I realized that the
situation is not as bad as I thought.

Anyway, I hope this may help somebody else too…
