If the -tag list definition didn't have a -width modifier,
the first .It call was supposed to set the width depending
on the first argument type; if it is a macro name, use the
macro's width value; otherwise, use width value of `No'.
The following two lists should produce identical output:
.Bl -tag -width Er -compact
.It Er EINVAL
invalid argument
.El
.Bl -tag -compact
.It Er EINVAL
invalid argument
.El
If the outermost -tag list definition did't have a -width
modifier, the .It elements of inner lists might not work
(producing a list where each successive element `walks' to
the right).
Example:
.Bl -tag -compact
.It outer
.It outer
.Bl -tag -compact
.It inner
.It inner
.El
.It outer
.It outer
.El

warning on Alphas. It is still not the perfect solution for machines
which sizeof(u_long) != sizeof(void *) but it is as close as we are going
to get for now and consistent with the rest of the code. 8.12 has solved
this problem by providing a portable snprintf() which understands %p.

since -mdoc checks for the "SEE" word only to set its variables.
In the SEE ALSO section, -mdoc automatically emits an empty line
before each new reference.

Example:
.Ar

Produced:
file ... foo
Now produces:
file ... foo
2. Fixed an off-by-one bug in the .It macro for the -hang lists.

.It 12345678

2. Disable recognition of end-of-sentence characters in text-type
macro arguments.
3. Fix the missing space bug when an end-of-sentence character was
followed by another punctuation character.
4. Fix the bug where hyphenation was left disabled after .Re.

linked in addition to libc rather than instead of libc.
Ideally, "-pthread" would now be equivalent to adding "-lc_r" to the
end of the link command. But it is slightly different in this
implementation. Adding "-lc_r" to the link command would produce a
"ld" command line containing this:
... -lc_r /usr/lib/libgcc.a -lc /usr/lib/libgcc.a ...
but this implementation of the "-pthread" option produces this:
... /usr/lib/libgcc.a -lc_r -lc /usr/lib/libgcc.a ...
It would be possible to make them identical, but that doesn't fit
as nicely into GCC's way of doing things. I don't think the ordering
change will make any difference in practice.
