Interesting, thanks for the note. I probably copied them from arch.7,
so it might need similar treatment.

They did have a side-effect of putting more space between columns
though; with extra Sy:

           Field       Size       Description
           namesz      32 bits    Size of name
           descsz      32 bits    Size of desc
           type        32 bits    OS-dependent note type
           name        namesz     Null-terminated originator name
           desc        descsz     OS-dependent note data

Without:

           Field    Size    Description
           namesz   32 bits Size of name
           descsz   32 bits Size of desc
           type     32 bits OS-dependent note type
           name     namesz  Null-terminated originator name
           desc     descsz  OS-dependent note data
