Re: -column issue

Hi Jason,

> so, do you recommend i "fix" sysctl.3?

I don't think we will get mandoc fully fixed in this respect
before release, we are not even sure which is the best way to go,
and changing this could easily cause considerable breakage.

You could just use

  .It Dv FS_POSIX_SETUID Ta integer Ta yes

That is quite easy to understand and works with old groff,
new groff and mandoc.  When there are many words per column,
old groff sometimes needs quoting to reduce the number of
arguments:

  .It Dv FS_POSIX_SETUID Ta "1 2 3 4 5" Ta yes

When there are many columns, Ta may not be an option with old
groff at all.  But here, none of these issues seem to occur.

Yours,
  Ingo
