Applied to git, 9ffd3c02, with a tiny addition.  Thanks.

Argh; the previous patch didn't consistently describe the interaction between the -r (--fill) and -w (--nowrap) options, and also didn't fix similar inconsistencies between the nano and nanorc sections of the info page.

The attached updated patch fixes these.

Currently, in git 9026e04, the interaction between the -U (--quickblank) and -c (--constantshow) options isn't described consistently between the info page and the manpages.

The info page contains all applicable information: the short options, their long option equivalents, and which option overrides which.  However, nano.1 mentions the overrides, but not the long option equivalents; and nanorc.5 mentions the long options (since they match the nanorc options), but doesn't mention the overrides at all.  The attached patch fixes this; the wording in nano.1 is borrowed from its description of the -X (--wordchars) option.
