Hyphens and Other Manpage Typography, 4/4: literal ASCII hyphens.
...
From: Peter Samuelson <peter@p12n.org>
nroff formats "-" as the very short hyphen used for hyphenated terms
and for splitting a word across two lines. When you want a literal
ASCII "-", like for typing on a command line, you're supposed to use
"\-" instead.
Yeah, it sounds pedantic, but it actually makes a difference. With
modern Unicode-capable terminals, "man" actually renders these with
different characters, so if you try to search for "--create" in your
favorite pager, you won't find it unless the nroff source says
"\-\-create". This discrepancy doesn't generally show up with
non-Unicode terminals.

Hyphens and Other Manpage Typography, 2/4: proper nroff "em dash".
...
From: Peter Samuelson <peter@p12n.org>
\(em renders as "--" in ASCII, and a nice em dash (i.e., a dash the
width of the letter "m") in more capable formats like PostScript.

Improve allocation and use of space for bitmaps in version1 metadata
...
Depending on the size of the array we reserve space for up to 128K
of bitmap, and we use it where possible.
When hot-adding to a version 1.0 we can still only use the 3K at the
end though - need a sysfs interface to improve that.
If a small chunksize is requested on Create, we don't auto-enlarge
the reserved space - this still needs to be fixed.
