+The script `install.sh` favors conservatism over cleverness: for example,
 if it finds the file `~/devel/my-project/bin/do-reformat.sh` then it
 checks whether it is a symlink to `~/src/would-reformat/do-reformat.sh`.
 If it is not, then it just prints a warning rather than attempting to correct

+## Running prettier is slow
+
+The scripts by default call `npx prettier` with some arguments.  If you call
+these scripts from a directory where there's a `node_modules/` directory with
+prettier and plugins, if necessary, installed, then `npx` should be fast
+enough.
+
+The solution, therefore, seems to be to say `yarn add --dev prettier` (or
+`npm install --dev prettier`) in the right place.
+
+(This seems to work for me, but it is admittedly still uncomfortably
+cargoculty.  There should be a more solid basis for this answer.)
