Hmm.  This makes more sense than the previous patch.

This is part 1/3 of order/combine/abbreviate, submitted separately to ignore or change.

However, it doesn't make sense if only the math functions are affected
If you want to do this systematically, you'd have to group them
following the Open Group Base Spec Issue 8.
                     or SUS V5 or POSIX 2024 or ... ;^>

That would also imply merging stuff like

   iswalnum/iswalnum_l        -- page 1280
   le16toh/le32toh/le64toh    -- page 1327
   localtime/localtime_r        -- page 1354
   mlock/munlock            -- pages 1433, 1488
   sig2str/str2sig        -- page 2040

etc. etc.

Nevertheless, while this has a certain charm and I don't see
a disadvantage, I'd like to get Jon's input to this as well.

Okay with other _l _r _s suffixes, not sure about bits, un, or <-> flips?

Looked at the Refer to entries in some man pages for groups, and looked at the functions in the referred to man pages, and grouped by those criteria.

Looking at the end/get/set...ent groups, endhostent/sethostent are implemented and gethostent is not implemented - should we keep them separate or combine in one section or the other?
