2a9836a508 Depart from normal man page proactice a little and provide guidance on
when to use assert, as well as providing a bad example of using
assert.  While not strictly necessary, experience has shown issues
with poor assert choice happen often enough that this departure seems
warranted. Also, tighten up the previous example (there's no need
to have extra paragraphs or gratuitously long lines).

23d2383783 Bump the date on man pages in r334306
It seems a shame to ruin the patina of the June 4, 1993 date
on abort.3, especially since it still matched the date of
the SCCS ID, but those are the rules.

4c72d794f0 Cross-reference abort2(2) from a few man pages
I didn't know abort2 existed until it was mentioned on a mailing list.
Mention it in related pages so others can find it easily.

c40f7c0583 assert(3) appeared first in the 7th Edition Unix, not the 6th, at
least according to the extant distributions preserved at tuhs.org.

ae82896268 Consistently mark std(in|out|err) with .Dv, because that's how they
are marked up in stdio(3), and because they are defined expressions
of type "FILE *".
