    doc/groff.texi: Fix style nit.
    
    Don't refer to the characters comprising the parameters to the .tr
    requet as "arguments"; throughout the rest of this manual, request
    "arguments" are separated by space characters.
    
    Also characterize the translation target of a final, odd-parity input
    character as a "fixed-width" space instead of an "unstretchable" one.
    
    Some day we may have shrinkable/squeezable spaces and the existing
    coinage was not future-proof.

 The @code{trin} request is identical to @code{tr}, but when you unformat
 a diversion with @code{asciify} it ignores the translation.
