If you can mdoc that and take what applies to /bin/sh.
Might be easier to start with one of the other style.foo pages though.
And we don't want to go to far and put all of our sh code

is varied greatly, IMHO the rule should be that the file just
be consistent through out, and that one or the other is the
prefered style, but either is acceptable.
