>Description:

The mdoc.samples(7) manual page documents the .Lb macro as accepting more
than one argument and then some punctuation; however, this does not seem
to be the case.
	
>How-To-Repeat:

[roam@ringworld:v0 ~]$ zcat /usr/share/man/man7/mdoc.samples.7.gz | groff -mdoc -Tascii | fgrep 'Usage: .Lb'
            Usage: .Lb argument ... { . , : ; ? ! ( ) [ ]}
[roam@ringworld:v0 ~]$ echo '.Lb libmd .' | groff -mdoc -Tascii | uniq
Usage: .Lb [library name]
Message Digest (MD4, MD5, etc.) Support Library (libmd, -lmd)

[roam@ringworld:v0 ~]$

This is so on both my Mar 17 -stable, the Mar 10 ref4.FreeBSD.org, and
the Dec 12 freefall.FreeBSD.org.

>Fix:

Wish I knew my way around groff macros :\
