I'm currently rewriting the Illumos manpages in mdoc, and I realised
from looking at the OpenBSD manuals, that the error list is set up as
such:

.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er ENOTTY
...

This is a really neat feature that I think deserved to be documented.
AFAIK only Ds gets this treatment. Apparently it resolves to 17n from
looking at mdoc_validate.c:/^macro2len/.
