Probably the reason for the semicolon was it's actually a sentence
that way. So I followed that line of thought with my '--'.

Anyway, I was in proof (quite a few days ago now, sorry for delay)
making it consistent with what I did to page (don't know why I didn't
think to do that earlier, when the whole point of the page patch was
consistency) and now I think we should just delete proof, at least
provided nobody claims to use it. The whole thing is bugs. Easy to
fix, but still. It doesn't do anything that page doesn't do better.

Here's what would need to change:

man (delete -p or alias it to -P)
man(1)
troff(1)
rio(1), which inexplicably references proof(1).

Executables stick around after the source is gone (I still have
ape/mv|cp), so I would want the deletion of cmd/proof to be on a
time-delay, so that that one last bug fix ('illegal;') can mk install
for everyone.
