        Use parallel (and terser) language to describe optional
        whitespace, and relocate this statement to the Options section
        (from Synopsis or elsewhere) where necessary.  Also make
        preconv's claim along these lines general, per
        src/preproc/preconv/preconv.cpp:1225-1226.
