Hello,

I just noticed that the inside of the new version (which would be 44873) of the
"bar holder with clip", the one with the ugly mould mark, is slightly
deeper.

It's not even a bad change (although more friction would have been a better
solution), but it's a serious problem of metrics for things that rely on
fully inserting bars, and can make connecting stuff a problem in MOCs.

Not sure if it's worth adding a separate entry for this, even though it's
totally not just "a new mould", but it would be worth adding a note to
it.

It also means that the inside metrics aren't compatible with 23443 anymore,
unless they also updated that part and I've missed that.

(side note, I'm a little annoyed by this change, as this is the kind of inconsistency/lack
of backwards compatibility that you expect from offbrand parts (and indeed those
can even be much deeper inside), not official Lego)
