This information is better placed in the git logs, not in the source
code itself. For people interested in the old history of pages, before
we used git, they will probably look at old versions of these pages,
like for example man-pages-1.70, or the 'prehistory' branch, and there
they'll find these notes.
Keep the names and emails of contributors in a new CREDITS file.

Use 'length' for the lenght of a string.
Use 'n' for the number of elements.
Use 'size' for the number of bytes. (And in wide-character string
functions, 'size' also refers to the number of wide characters.)
The change is quite large, and I might have made some mistakes.
But overall, this should improve consistency in use of these terms.

Prepare for `MR` macro migration.
Rewrite man page cross references inside tbl(1) text blocks to use
man(7) macros instead of troff(1) font selection escape sequences.

Prepare for `MR` macro migration.
Migrate man page cross references in "SEE ALSO" section from using font
selection escape sequences to font alternation macros to set man page
cross references.
This is an oddball case where `\-` appears in the man page title and,
for no obvious reason, a nonbreaking space escape sequence was applied
between list items. (I can _guess_ why: someone was trying to defeat
line adjustment, and didn't notice that they were trying to do so right
before a paragraph break, so adjustment wouldn't have happened anyway.)

The root of the repository is becoming a bit overpopulated and
unorganized, due to the recent addition of more mandirs, and more
informative and configuration files too. Let's create a specific
mandir <man/> that contains the mandirs <man[1-8]*>.
