Except that:

 . Please don't use ``foo()'' to mean ``function foo'', because
 ``foo()'' looks like an invocation of `foo' with no arguments, which
 is not what you want to say.  Use ``@code{foo}'' instead.

Also, file names like ctype.h should havee the @file markup, and
"whatever" should be ``whatever''.
