commit 39cf390d1abd9b915a48b4ac549a0a128d17b498
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    doc/ms.ms: Tweak style of cover page.
    
    * Refer to macro packages without using a leading hyphen.  Tastes
      differ, but I find the practice superfluous and mildly uncouth.
    * Use bold italics for italicized terms in the (bold) title.
    * Use two empty requests where vertical space is expected.
    * Reflow.
    * Break input lines after commas.
