You might recast this line as:

.BR atexit (3)
and
.BR on_exit (3)

...because it's (a) a little more readable (no quoted spaces) and (b) it
be easily pattern-matched to migrate the man page cross references to
the new `MR` macro in groff 1.23.0 (released at last), and for which I'm
(slowly) working up a sed script.

There are plenty of special cases to handle, but stemming the influx of
new ones will help. :)

Regards,
Branden
