 You wanted "``.h''", so there is no space.  But I can believe it is
 sometimes needed and maybe should be a habit within macros.

 The structure of "(something)" is more apparent than ".Pq something",
 IMO.  BTW, the mdoc(7) source is loaded with in-line parens.

 If moving was fast and easy, I'd probably move them to section 7, but
 it's not, so yes.
