Russ Cox 977b25a76a tmac: introduce real manual reference macro instead of overloading IR
The overloading of IR emits magic \X'...' sequences that turn into HTML manual links.
But not all such IR invocations should be manual links;
those had to be written to avoid the IR macro before.
Worse, the \X'...' ending the IR causes troff to emit only a single space after a period.

Defining a new IM macro for manual references fixes both problems.

Fixes #441.

.TH GETSNARF 3
.SH NAME
getsnarf, putsnarf \- window system snarf (cut and paste) buffer
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <draw.h>
.PP
.B
char *getsnarf(void)
.PP
.B
void putsnarf(char *text)
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Getsnarf
and
.I putsnarf
access the window system's snarf (cut and paste) buffer.
.PP
.I Getsnarf
returns a copy of the current buffer;
the returned pointer should be freed with
.I free
(see
.IM malloc (3) )
when no longer needed.
.PP
.I Putsnarf
sets the buffer to the text string
.IR text .
.PP
Callers should assume that the snarf buffer is UTF.
If the window system does not keep the buffer in UTF,
.I getsnarf
and
.I putsnarf
will convert as necessary.
