Regarding the nonbreaking spaces part: I'm not too practiced with groff,
but the wording around the \[ti] character is confusing. AFAICT, I
actually need to spell my expression like the following?

0.2\~*\~1024\~=\~205

At least, with trial and error, that's what appears to render correctly,
whereas \[ti] renders as a literal tilde. Is man-pages.7 [1] incorrect?

[1] from `man man-pages`:
      "In this case, it may be worth using nonbreaking spaces (\[ti]) at
      suitable places in the command."
