    groff_man*(7): Reduce redundancy.
    
    Undocument \*(AD and \*(HY in subsection "Strings", since they're
    already documented in section "Options".  Also, they're not part of the
    page authors' interface to the macro package, but rather the page
    _readers'_ interface.  Add internal cross-reference.
    
    Also this makes the page(s) shorter.
    
    Recast description of \n(SN to be less jarring; there's no reason to
    suggest that a page has only one subsection heading (usually there are
    zero or several).
