This patch looks great. I've applied it. I applied some tweaks to the commit message, to better document the rationale: <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/commit/?id=71154d16c5b5fe09b46acdfdf7c8a57f8f2fb892> I had plans to release a new version today, but haven't had time. I'll release hopefully later this week. Thanks for contributing! Have a lovely night!
