+In the NAME section,

+macros are inferred from text leading and trailing the last hyphen
+followed by a space (there may be any number of hyphens preceding the
+space).
+The space may occur on either side of the hyphen.
+Thus,
+.Li B<foo> - bar
+will be rendered as follows:

+Multiple names separated by a comma are properly handled.
