 From "groff -ww ..." (or "man --warnings=w ..."):

warning: around line 182: table wider than line width

 Default length of line in GNU man is 78.

 Split longest (last) line into two (or use text block).  Reduce
four "l" to three.
See below.

Here, I instead changed "the current" to "current" (and also at two
other places in the table). (It's an acceptable English usage to omit
articles where space is tight.)
