I already sent the first part of this series separately multiple times,
the last one is 4 simple obviously correct patches [1], but since the
maintainer has admitted he has no problem ignoring valid work
entirely due to personal animus [2], I'm sending the whole chain.

There's no point in carefully selecting multiple series of patches to be
merged one by one when all of them are going to be ignored. So I'm
sending all 3 series at once.

Hopefully by sending it all at once some people will be able to realize
that:

  1. They are valid
  2. They are helpful
  3. They make the code more maintainable
  4. They enable new features
  5. They enable the new features to be easily tested
  6. They reduce the doc-diff of the new feature, as well as others
  7. They are superior to the competing series currently in seen
  8. They include work of multiple contributors

Any fair and impartial maintainer would attempt to pick them up.

Cheers.

I think the next step after this patch series is to add asciidoctor 
direct man pages generation option to ./configure script (maybe 
--enable-asciidoctor-manpage?). But before that, we need to add 
--enable-asciidoctor option, which sets USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=YesPlease.

Maybe. I don't use ./configure, so perhaps somebody that does should
take charge of this.
