There's a bit a mix of .BR and .IR used in the man pages, specifically
when referring to another program, as in
.BR dist ,
or
.IR mh-draft (5)
My (limited) understanding is that the 'correct' approach is to
always use .BR in such cases; or, to put it another way, names of
programs should be bold, and options should be italic.
This is something I can clean up 'as I go', if there's consensus
on the desired approach.
