"grep API" in the RFC index returns 27 lines of hits: to list just the
RFC numbers I see in that list (without searching out the RFC numbers
for the lines that don't begin a listing), 1509 1961 1964 2025 2292
2367 2478 2614 2628 2744 2771 2783 2853 3338 3542 3867 4401 4462 4584
4752.  (2292 particularly irritates me, though for non-IETF reasons.)
