[PING] [PATCH 00/37] Manual typos: Overview

[Rical Jasan <ricaljasan at pacific dot net>]

ping^3

Current status:

  * 01-26 have been reviewed.
  * 01-02 have been merged.
  * 03 & 08 requested additional review.

The additional review in 03 is in regards to some variable names that
appear to have changed.  The reviewer will need to have the manual open
to the relevant section for context.  There were a few places where, for
example, in the description for function foo with a parameter bar-ptr,
the description refers to a parameter "bar", which not being the name of
a parameter for the function, seemed to be a typo.

The additional review in 08 is in regards to the use of besides vs.
beside.  Beside is a preposition meaning next to and is usually used for
spatial descriptions; besides, while also a preposition, can be an
adverb and usually introduces some new information (i.e., in addition
to).  At least, that's how my grammar usually goes, so it would be nice
to have someone else look over those changes.

Thank you,
Rical
