That'd make a fine followup patch, I agree! ;)  Re-ordering every
manpage won't really be on my todo list soon, though.

I suppose.  I'm not really sure anyone would care?

not sure how I missed those, sorry.

Probably.  -V is least important of the fixes; I'd be more inclined to just drop
the -V changes and not spend a couple more hours rearranging manpages.

This was fine work on a plane, but there are more pressing things to do now :(

Maybe some list-reader who wants some changelog glory could take this further?  :)
