    doc/meref.me.in: Clarify discussion of `++` macro.
    
    More carefully describe application of appendix and page numbers to
    customized titles.
    
    Try not to alarm readers by suggesting that physical page resequencing
    is the only remedy for collected "indexes" coming at the end of the
    document.  Depending on the output format, resequencing can occur in the
    digital domain, reducing tedium.
    
    Also use special character for basic Latin circumflex accent.
