With change of styling, 'the ... operator' got redundant and was removed in all places but one.

The global name lookup was proposed by Stefan Vorkoetter.

The support for Unicode was initiated by Rui Gao and Hoyoun Kim.\\
Martin Otter, Michael Sielemann and Francesco Casella proposed \lstinline!homotopy!.
Michael Sielemann demonstrated with benchmark
problems that non-linear solvers are not able to solve reliably
initialization problems and that the homotopy operator is therefore
needed. He provided a prototype implementation of the homotopy-operator
and demonstrated its use on a vehicle dynamics example. Utilizing the
prototype implementation, Francesco Casella demonstrated with a model of
a thermal power plant with 390 iteration variables of the initialization
problem, that an appropriate usage of the homotopy operator allows to
reliably initialize the system without providing guess values for the
iteration variables. This was a strong indication that the homotopy
operator will indeed improve initialization in Modelica significantly.
