  Modified files:
    share/man/man9       style.9 
  Log:
  Add a paragraph which should clarify the separation of asterisks
  and adjacent tokens in declarations.
  The added text was originally a single sentence I wrote and which
  was heavily modified and extended by Bruce Evans.
  
  This clarification attempt originates from differing usage of the
  'restrict' type-qualifier.
  Although various documents documents dicussing the C Programming
  Language put a space between an asterisk and the 'restrict' keyword,
  including the C99 standard (at least the n869.txt draft) and other
  ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG14 documents, the IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 document
  does not separate them.
  
  Discussed with:         bde
  Requested by:           tjr
  Separation using a single space also liked by:  mike
