I'm pretty sure doclifter will turn this into a DocBook bulleted list,
but I don't have any examples handy to test it on.

.DS/.DE -- display formatting for running text
.EX/.EE -- format an example with indent and CW font.
The trouble is that existing man macros don't actually cover these cases;
you end up writing cliches with .nf/.fi and .RS/.RE to handle them.
