Dear Maintainer,

here is a note and a one line fix for the manual.

####

The difference between the formatted outputs can be seen with:

  nroff -man <file1> > <out1>
  nroff -man <file2> > <out2>
  diff -u <out1> <out2>

and for groff using

"groff -man -Z" instead of "nroff -man"

#####

Use the correct macro for the font change of a single argument or
split the argument into two.

21:.IR /etc/shells

#####

[ "test-groff" is a developmental version of "groff" ]

Input file is ./remove-shell.8

Output from "test-groff -b -mandoc -dAD=l -rF0 -rHY=0 -t -w w -z 
-rSTYLECHECK=3":

an.tmac:<stdin>:1: style: .TH missing fourth argument; suggest package/project 
name and version (e.g., "groff 1.23.0")
an.tmac:<stdin>:21: style: .IR expects at least 2 arguments, got 1
