I meant to write an intro for that, but accidentally used
git send-email in a way that just fired off the patch.

 I've never editted man pages before, so hopefully I didn't do anything
silly or unconventional with macros.  I looked over man-pages(7) and
man(7), but I just found  .si 1  in mount(8), and copied it without
finding any explanation of exactly what it does.

 So when reviewing, check my man-page syntax as well as the actual
words, please.  :)

 IDK if I was too chatty in some places.
 
 I think in places where I chopped stuff down, the meaning is still
perfectly clear.  Faster to grok = better.
