Fixed differently.

Hi,
There was some discussion last year[1] regarding abuse of Aq macros
in mdoc where plain characters or other macros (eg, "In") would be
more appropriate. Here are some additional places where I believe
replacing Aq would make sense.
Notes:
- spamd-setup(8) is referring to pf tables. syslogd(8)

Yes. We shouldn't change mandoc(1) without changing groff(1)
in parallel.

That's in normal text, so it doesn't really matter, nobody is going
to copy and paste a single word out of the middle of
headers are not math equations either.

pf.conf(5) should use plain <> for tables. should
always use .In.

IMO, these are bugs in the manuals. spamd(8) should be using <> directly.
compress(3) should drop the angle quotes and just use Pa. Or wrap Pa in
<> if people really think it's needed.

The .Aq macro quotes a word with surrounding brackets. This is used a
few places. Lots of man pages quote email addresses. spamd(8) quotes the
pf table name. compress(3) quotes the path.
The mandoc chars.in though says that for unicode, it should output these fancy
"mathematical left
