Dropping patch annotation from rejected ticket.

As noted in comment #1, I still intend to fix this problem a different way.

I'm rejecting this because I think a better fix would be to reorganize the table with internal headings like the version of it in groff_ms(7).  This will, I hope, also make it possible to fit the table into an 80-colummn terminal window.

Bugs in tbl(1) make that even harder than it should be.

Subject: [PATCH] tmac/ms.ms: change type names to singular form in a table for
 A4 paper format

  One table is just a little too wide to fit in a A4 paper format,
so shorten the names in a Type column by the plural ending.

  Pathc is also in the attachment.
