than “can not”.

Under doc/src/sgml, if we count:
```
sgml % grep -r "cannot" . | wc -l
     818
```

“Cannot” has 818 occurrences, but “can not” has only 3:
```
sgml % grep -rE "can\s+not" .
./ecpg.sgml:     some SQL statement is declared, "database" can not be used

be null. If the
./func/func-aggregate.sgml:        The <parameter>key</parameter> can not
be null. If the
```

So, maybe we should fix these 3 and keep a consistent usage of “cannot”.

Best regards,
