I think that the idea behind this was that a lot of the stuff that is relevant to :C is already described in the section of :S, but since :C came second the text was left at :S. The modifiers are sorted alphabetically, so it makes more sense to keep :C in the proper place than move it under :S just to save a few page-down keys. Of course this is MHO. The second diff, that is part of this PR which adds .Ar macros in a couple of places, looks fine to me. I'd like this (the second diff only) to be committed if nobody objects.
