No longer use names that only occur in the SYNOPSIS section as names for man(1) lookup. For OpenBSD base and Xenocara, that functionality was never intended to be required, and i just fixed the last handful of offenders using it - not counting the horribly ill-designed interfaces engine(3) and lh_new(3) which are impossible to properly document in the first place. Of course, apropos(1) and whatis(1) continue to use SYNOPSIS .Nm, .Fn, and .Fo macros, so "man -k ENGINE_get_load_privkey_function" still works. This change also gets rid of a few bogus warnings "cross reference to self" which actually are *not* to self, like in yp(8). This former functionality was intended to help third-party software in the ports tree and on non-OpenBSD systems containing manual pages with incomplete or corrupt NAME sections. But it turned out it did more harm than good, and caused more confusion than relief, specifically for third party manuals and for maintainers of mandoc-portable on other operating systems. So kill it. Problems reported, among others, by Yuri Pankov (illumos). OK jmc@
