* Specify explicit hyphenation points for "terminfo"; groff's
hyphenation patterns (which are based on TeX's) hyphenate "termcap" as
"term-cap", which is fine, but "terminfo" as "ter-minfo" (like
"ter-mite", I reckon; recall my recent comment on English morphology).
* Center the tables. They get progressively narrower and worse looking
if aligned left.
* Tighten description of SVr4's `-v` option.
