LOL. I was expecting that[1]. =:^) |

While I don't know the (presumably) roff markup I've seen in the manpage |
10 |
patches, it'd definitely be useful to learn (and it seems a more |
11 |
realistic goal than say learning C), and I'm not opposed to doing so and |
12 |
then doing the work myself. |

However, particularly since I /would/ have to learn the markup before |
15 |
actually coming up with the patches, it's still worth an RFC before-hand, |
16 |
to see if it's worth the trouble. If people are wedded to the current |
17 |
layout... |

Presumably if it is judged to be worth pursuing, the debate on what |
20 |
precise sections to use, and whether the all-options section should be |
21 |
split to its own manpage, can continue while I work on learning the |
22 |
markup. |
