I added those because the result looks poor with manpages.  Here's what
it looks like from last week's changes:

SEE ALSO
       [UAX #29] “Unicode Standard Annex #29: Unicode Text Segmentation”
       ⟨https://unicode.org/reports/tr29/⟩

       curses(3X),   curs_color(3X),    curs_opaque(3X),    curs_terminfo(3X),
       curs_threads(3X), term_variables(3X), terminfo(5)

and without that, the title is stretched:

SEE ALSO
       [UAX  #29]  “Unicode  Standard  Annex  #29:  Unicode Text Segmentation”
       ⟨https://unicode.org/reports/tr29/⟩

       curses(3X),   curs_color(3X),    curs_opaque(3X),    curs_terminfo(3X),
       curs_threads(3X), term_variables(3X), terminfo(5)

Actually this would be still more readable:

SEE ALSO
       [UAX #29] “Unicode Standard Annex #29: Unicode Text Segmentation”
       ⟨https://unicode.org/reports/tr29/⟩

       curses(3X), curs_color(3X), curs_opaque(3X), curs_terminfo(3X),
       curs_threads(3X), term_variables(3X), terminfo(5)

Perhaps a troff/nroff macro to disable adjustment in nroff would be helpful.
