* Fix sentence fragment introducing table.
* Set table in an indented paragraph instead of centering it; centering
doesn't make much sense since it requires a great deal of horizontal
space.
* Use tabs for entry separation, for consistency with other tables in
the ncurses man pages.
* Drop explicit column width specifications in favor of using `x`
modifier on the "Summary" column, which needs a lot of room. This
lets the column expand to whatever width is available instead of
maxing out at 40 ens.
* Set columns containing literals in bold.
* Use '_' in table data instead of repeated '_' column descriptions.
* Denote environment variables in bold instead of using shell script
syntax.
* Slightly recast.
