I would go for this. If a line is indeed edited, then I would
preserve it's indentation, but remove trailing decimal zeros, and
possibly clean up other things, like changing "-0" to "0". If the
file has any exponential notation, e.g, "2e1", then I would change it
into decimal. I don't think I would change the case of the part name.
For example, I would preserve "SHIELD.dat", if that's what is
originally in the file.
