I rushed together a little program that removes the lines that confuse Bryce.
It has four buttons:
* Suggest: Suggests the lines to be removes by checking them.
* Change: Removes the checked lines.
* Save: Saves the file by overwriting the old, (including any checked but not
removed lines) and clears window.
* All: Executes all the three commands above.
