    [man pages]: Drop unnecessary use of \& escapes.
    
    Use of the non-printing input break \& _before_ a dot is a recommended
    practice to prevent the dot from becoming misinterprted as a control
    character when a text line is reflowed/refilled in a text editor.
    
    However, this reasoning does not apply to control lines, which generally
    cannot be reflowed without damaging the document.
    
    So get rid of 'em.
