commit b0963cb565d50dd7625f5f112be2a834224089f6
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Fri Jan 16 00:13:37 2026 -0600
doc/groff.texi.in: Update example of `sy` usage.
Write more idiomatic shell, and less idiomatic *roff, to (in my eyes)
clarify the logic, make it more illustrative when used, and underscore
the point made in the footnote.
Also try to clarify the footnote itself.
