Ben -

Thanks for the pedantry! I've attached a patch that should address your
issues. (Doug, please review as mentor when you get a chance.)

This is my first man page, so I apologize for the style violations. I
fixed all the new sentence instances I could find, but I left the "e.g."
and "i.e." instances untouched. That seems like it would suffer from the
same issue, but I left them alone for now.

Is there a style(9) equivalent for man pages? I hunted for a bit, but
"man -k style" returned only style(9) and style.Makefile(9).
