commit e877c6d36b80002afefa15a2da499d8fb43321b3
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    doc/meref.me.in: Fix content nits.
    
    * Drop word "string" from reference to macro arguments.  Strings are
      things you define with `ds` (`as`, etc.) and interpolate with `\*`.
    * Identify `bp` as a request so the reader doesn't expect to see it
      defined as part of this reference.
    * Add `.p` register to summary index.  We document the `pl` request
      (actually intercepted by a macro, but that's supposed to be
      transparent), so it makes sense to tell the user how to query the
      parameter we tell them how to set; q.v. `\n(.l`, `.ll`, `.xl`.
    * Use lowercase 'n' instead of 'S' as metasyntactic parameter to \s
      escape sequence, to follow convention established on first page.
