Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
...
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group. These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

The description of dictionary comparison was out of date. Rather than

try to explain the complex general scheme we actually use now, I decided
to spell out only what equality means (which is easy to explain and
