Fixed that one and a bunch of other I found the other day.

Here it refers to the actions taken if no seconf argument is supplied,
which depend on the -sX arguments supplied. I've reworded it
accordingly, and removed the second 'empty string' reference which
didn't make sense (I assume a copy&paste error).

Fixed the space, kept the comma.

This change changes the semantics of the sentence, I've not touched it
for now.

I'd say the current string is correct. It's stating that it will print
commands that will unset the variables once executed. Not that it will
unset those variables by itself. And it's but because it's doing
something different than -s.

I've added those to a man.TODO I've around, I might commit it to the
main TODO list eventually.
