Comment (by sabernhardt):

 For testing, I wanted to keep both the original code and the patch changes
 intact, so I edited the `$events` array immediately at the beginning of
 the `trim_events()` function. (The PR diff applied changes around this.)

 {{{
 $events[0]['title'] = '“test – testing” …';
 $events[1]['title'] = 'Users — TBD';
  $events[1]['type'] = 'wordcamp';
 $events[2]['title'] = '« L’Événement » à
 Nîmes';
 }}}
