   - tbl(7): Horizontal and vertical lines are formatted badly:
     With the box option, there is too much white space at the end of cells.
     Horizontal lines from "=" lines are a bit too long.

   - When there is free text in the SYNOPSIS and that free text contains
     the .Nm macro, groff somehow understands to treat the .Nm as an in-line
     macro, while mandoc treats it as a block macro and breaks the line.
     No idea how the logic for distinguishing in-line and block instances
     should be, needs investigation.
