    groff_man(7): Remove italics from "man pages".
    
    We don't need to _both_ set "man pages" in italics and quote it when
    introducing it as jargon.  I favor quotation marks for it since it's
    toward the slang end of the spectrum.  (Contrast with phrases like
    "Hamming distance" or "NP-hard", which would be italicized upon their
    first appearance in a formal text introducing the concepts.)
