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 interpretation of ``file size'' changes according to the file
type. For plain files this is the size of the file in bytes. For
FIFOs and sockets under most Unixes (including Linux in particular),
the ``size'' is the number of bytes waiting to be read at the time of
the call to \function{os.stat()}, \function{os.fstat()}, or
\function{os.lstat()}; this can sometimes be useful, especially for
FIFOs and sockets under most flavors of \UNIX{} (including Linux in
particular), the ``size'' is the number of bytes waiting to be read at
the time of the call to \function{os.stat()}, \function{os.fstat()},
or \function{os.lstat()}; this can sometimes be useful, especially for
polling one of these special files after a non-blocking open. The
meaning of the size field for other character and block devices varies
more, depending on the implementation of the underlying system call.
