Not sure I'd find this terribly useful myself, but I don't see
anything wrong with it.  I think my change log items tend to be more
than one line long for one...

optional: My brain had a hard time processing this.  I did the logic
transformation myself:

  if 'uniq' not in process_it or text not in out:


Also: Do you really want the "process_it" to be so free-form?  That
seems like it might be asking for disaster.  Why not specify that it's
comma-separated and be done.
