    indxbib(1): Make clarifications.
    
    * Tighten wording and align verb tense with rest of page.
    * State that field names are 1 char.  You could get this from refer(1),
      but it helps the example make sense.
    * Explain origin of "eign" name since it looks like a typo, or an
      abbreviation for something you'd use for characterizing linear spaces.
    * Fix which/that error.
