commit 18476a2c07d8dad1bfba7c676bb576204b214961
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    Fix Savannah #60037.

    * doc/groff.texi (Optional man extensions) <CW, EX, PN, Pn>:
      (Highlighting in ms <CW>):
      (Additional ms macros <CW>): Use "monospaced" to refer to font
      selected, retaining "constant-width" term only where it explains the
      macro mnemonic.  Thanks to Dave Kemper for pointing out the issue.
      Also fix error: .CW in the ms package seems to have originated with
      Research Unix, not Berkeley.

    * doc/ms.ms (Highlighting) <CW>: Sync with our Texinfo manual.
    * tmac/groff_ms.7.man: Sync with ms.ms, omitting FAM advice.

    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60037>.

This is a response to commit 0c559f5f.  It fixes one typo that commit introduced, and poses one question.

The typo is addressed in patch file #50105.

The question is based on the commit log:

> * Hyphenate "constant-width" when used as attributive phrase.


This is a clear improvement, but I wonder if the more standard adjectives "fixed-width" or "monospaced" would be better still.
