I just fixed about 25 of these cases in the current documentation.  I
used a rather naive regexp to find them, so others may still be
lurking.  If you still feel the need to look for more, please feel
free to go ahead, but please use the current documentation; it
wouldn't help for you to find what I already fixed.

FWIW, this is what I used:

	grep -E '([[:space:]]+([^[:space:]]+)[[:space:]]+)\2[[:space:]]'

It's got quite a few problems, but it did find quite a few.  Actually,
it found too much because it would match for things like "* *"; stuff
like that appears quite often in the examples.
