Style:
* Protect man page topic names from hyphenation.
* Quote inline multi-word example.
Markup:
* Protect man page cross references from hyphenation.
* Favor man(7) font style macros over *roff font selection escape
sequences, except for man page cross references (because
man/make_sed.sh recognizes only certain patterns when rewriting such
cross references).
