Yeah, "source code" has always been kind of a misnomer for these
languages.

We could shorten it to "See \sf" or something like that.  But if we change
the column header to "internal name" or the like, then the column just
obviously doesn't apply for non-internal languages, so leaving it null
should be fine.
