The deleted line is a terrible anti-pattern and you're doing everyone a solid by removing the temptation to copy it. groff_man_style(7) attempts to lead people to the light: Optional macro arguments are indicated by surrounding them with square brackets. If a macro accepts multiple arguments, those containing space characters must be double-quoted to be interpreted correctly. An empty macro argument can be specified with a pair of double-quotes (“""”), but the man package is designed such that this should seldom be necessary. Unused macro arguments are more often simply omitted, or good style suggests that a more appropriate macro be chosen, that ear‐ lier arguments are more important than later ones, or that arguments have identical significance such that skipping any is superfluous. ...but alas, groff 1.22.5, or 1.23 or whatever we call it, is not yet released.
