I agree with that comment, but also hope that 20 years later we have
something like I suggested at the bottom of
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00039.html> replacing
such free-form text (although replacing the free-form text, which requires
going through the whole manual, would involve rather more work than moving
from @comment to appropriate macros, which would be an essentially
automated change).
