    groff(7): Fix style nits.
    
    * Stop boldfacing a comma used non-literally.
    * Say "basic Latin alphabetics".  "Base-26" just isn't mathematically
      correct, since the alphabetic representation is not a place-value
      system (even though we represent a zero value with an arabic zero.)
      "Basic Latin" suggests the Unicode code chart bearing that name, which
      happens to also have correct implications.
