Not sure if others consider this a bug, but the lines in the following table
exceed 80 columns.  Many people including me use 80-column xterms.

  An optional length modifier, that specifies the size of the argument.
         The following length modifiers are valid for the b, B, d, i, n, o, u,
         x, or X conversion:

There is clearly too much wasted whitespace.  Perhaps, the use of -compact in
the Bl macro may help
