        There is already inconsistency here: there are may top-level
        lists using ".IP *" in prctl.2, and plenty of places where the
        default indentation is used.

I must admit that I'm in the process of rethinking bulleted lists, and
I have not come to a conclusion (and that's why nothing is said in
man-pages(7), and also why there is currently inconsistency).

Using .IP with the default indent (8n) results in a very deep indent
between the glyph and the text, so it's not my preference.

Is it worth trying to change the default indent in the macro package, or
will that just upset other people?

I imagine it would break other stuff.

Thanks,

Michael
