commit 203f8603fc722a7b2176cc64c1dc0e65332ed816
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Thu Apr 7 14:20:34 2022 +1000

    troff(1): Fix style nits.
    
    * Reduce bulleted list indentation.
    * Be crystal clear about restrictions on -d and -r arguments.
    * Clarify that page ranges given to the -o option are inclusive.
    * Clarify that "-w all" is a perfectly cromulent choice for _documents_
      written for AT&T troff--not just macro packages.
    * Tighten wording.
