[doc,man]: The plural of "zero" is "zeroes".
By analogy with "archipelagoes", "avocadoes", "banjoes", "cargoes",
"echoes", "(ice) floes", "foes", "heroes", "hoes", "(death) throes",
"tomatoes"...you get the idea. This orthography also helps to mark the
word as not being a loan from classical Greek.
