Define 'always gets expanded'

$log is special - it (like all other keywords) is written into the RCS 
file *but* it makes modifications to multiple lines - you can't remove 
them once the file is committed as they are part of the file, not part 
of the $Log keyword any more.  You can stop any more comments appearing, 
but you can't do anything about the ones that are already there.

You get the same effect with -ko.
