Please add a ChangeLog entry! I insist on having entries for
everything which isn't trivial (e.g., fixing typos in comments or
documentation).

Yes. Please use groff's `-ww' option to catch potential problems.
Ideally, there shouldn't be any warnings.
BTW, according to my experience, a great deal of errors can be caught
if you use
(a) the colorized man output of the Midnight Commander (this is,
pressing the F3 key on a man page)
(b) different terminal line lengths, say, 80 and 100 characters.
