    [docs]: Fix style nit.
    
    Tighten wording and drop the term "parsing" in favor of
    "interpretation"; GNU troff doesn't strongly dichotomize lexical
    analysis and parsing as was traditionally done with lex and yacc, for
    instance, and "parsing" is a more technical term that we don't require.
