Correct, and it is irritating to have a general style of not using
argument names in prototypes in mandoc, but then a few scattered
names here and there, so i committed your patch.
Thanks for sending it.

In the future, when sending patches, could you please restore your
last name to the From: header?  I consider it disrespectful forcing
developers who want to commit your patches to waste time on the
extra, useless work of searching for your name.

For an extremely simple, probably not Copyright-worthy patch like
this one, it may not matter much, but as soon as you send a patch
that (even potentially) might meet the threshold of originality
with respect to Copyright, it becomes important that the developer
committing the patch mentions the full real name of the person who
sent in the patch in the commit message, such that it is clear who
owns the Copyright on the changes and, by implication, who the
person is putting these changes under the license displayed at the
top of the file.

Thanks,
  Ingo
