The way jot(1) defaults missing arguments doesn't match the behaviour
described in the manpage, which states that with fewer than 3 arguments
missing values are supplied from left to right.
In fact, with one or two arguments, the last (s which is step size or seed)
defaults to 1 (or -1 if begin and end specify a descending range), and then
omitted arguments are set to default starting with the leftmost until three
arguments are available.
This is why `jot 2 1000` prints 1000 and 1001 instead of 1000 and 100.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Up to now jot would fail to generate the last character in the range
or skew the integer distribution in a way that would generate the numbers
in the range's limits with half the probability of the rest.
This modification fixes the program, rather than documenting the
strange behavior, as suggested in docs/54879.
Also, correctly specify the range of random(3).

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;
.\" $Id$

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.
