Please don't reformat code that you're editing, Neil. This makes it
difficult for the translators. You should endeavor to keep your
changes as separate as possible from the original (see, for example,
the style used ("that's supposed to be used") with mdoc files. If you
start running par(1) or fmt(1) on your work, you start making life
very difficult for translators.
