And now that I look at style(9), there are subtleties that
demonstrate this in the roff generated text:
=================
FreeBSD source tree. It is also a guide for the preferred userland code
^^
style. Many of the style rules are implicit in the examples. Be careful
^^
^^
to check the examples before assuming that style is silent on an issue.
=================
I wish this point was more explicit, but like style(9), there are
other unspoken rules that should/must be adhered to.
