If you think about it a bit more, you'll see that the rule makes sense,
especially when the SEE ALSO list is hige, like with rc.conf(5), ppp(8),
pthread(3), netgraph(4), acl(3), mount(8), symlink(7), wmemchr(3), etc.
Moreover, the rule should (ideally) make an underscore symbol (`_')
transparent, which it currently does not.
