This adds bogus quoting.

It should remove this bogus quoting.

Bogus quoting of "void" is used in about 1100 lines in section 3
man pages (counting links multiply). It is most common in man pages
for software that doesn't use anything resembling BSD style (e.g.,
VGL, archive, dialog and, readline account for about 2/3 of the 1100
lines).
