    ChangeLog: Add some missing entries.
    
    Last year I failed to changelog some non-documentation, non-comment
    commits for some reason.  Whoops.
    
    Perhaps this would be a good place to document my changelogging
    criteria.
    
    I generally don't changelog alterations to code comments and test cases,
    or style tweaks to documentation.  However, any change that resolves a
    Savannah ticket (or a problem that _should_ have been a Savannah
    ticket), or which corrects a false claim in documentation, _does_ get
    changelogged.  Those are things that people tend to notice and which we
    should acknowledge.  I also log substantial additions to documentation.

+       This is a bit belt-and-suspenders for groff since our output

+       Man page writers should simply use \(lq and \(rq unless they are

+       * makevarescape.sed: Use \[] form of special character escapes.
+
+       The only man page we have that doesn't turn compatibility mode
+       off (neqn) also doesn't use any sed-substituted patterns where
+       characters replaced by a \[] special character escape form are
+       likely to be used.
+
+       The @g@ command prefix is the main avenue for intrusion of such
+       escapes, but I think it improbable that many people are going to
+       include apostrophes, double quotes, carets, grave accents, or
+       tildes in the command prefix; some or all of these will pick
+       fights with the shell and require quoting that we don't
+       represent in man page text anyway.
+
+       On top of that, neqn is largely a stub page.
+
+       If it's a problem, a better fix than reverting this is to make
+       neqn switch out of compatibility mode like our other man pages.
