	Refs:	Most of the changes were made using Meikyo 3, Daijirin 4 and GG5. This also goes for the ordering of senses. Daijs, Chuujiten and Sankoku were used occasionally. Google N-gram Corpus Counts ╭─ーー─┬───────────┬───────╮ │ 通す │ 1,199,885 │ 99.1% │ │ 徹す │ 7,526 │ 0.6% │[rK] ; frequency tags can be removed │ 透す │ 3,105 │ 0.3% │[rK] ╰─ーー─┴───────────┴───────╯ ーーーーー Notable sense ordering changes ーーーーー - former sense two is now sense 11 (the daijs sense used originally was probably "㋑まんべんなくゆきわたらせる。「中まで十分に火を―・す」", note the "火を―・す") - a lot of minor changes in accordance with references ーーーーー References for changes to individual senses + new senses ーーーーー Too long for the submission, see this pastebin: https://pastebin.com/CQN50hUv ーーーーー Sentences ーーーーー The sentence on sense 9 can stay unchanged, I made sure to not move that one. The sentence on the former sense 1 didn't seem to be right in my eyes, it should go on sense 13 now. Checked manually by me this time, see another pastebin here: https://pastebin.com/symq0QNm .
	Comments:	Adding a lot more information via glosses, notes and examples. As for the different kanji forms, some refs still point them out, many don't. Meikyo says "今はともに［通］を使う。" at the end of its 書き分け section. Given their counts as well, I don't think they need to be split out. The word "through" is definitely carrying the entry on its shoulders here.

	Comments:	I think it can stand for now. I see 新和英中辞典 has all three forms without distinction.

	Refs:	Koj (通す,徹す, no senses), GG5, etc.
	Comments:	とおす rather needed the makeover. All my refs with senses have them in different orders, so there is no canonical position. As for 徹す and 透す, Gg5 et al. don't mention them. Daijirin has its "「透す」とも書く", etc. on a few senses. Probably we should go through and put "[通す]" restrictions on all the others.
