BTW, I think a big part of the problem with table 9.4 as it's being
rendered in the web style right now is that the type placeholders
(numeric_type etc) are being rendered in a ridiculously overemphasized
fashion, causing them to overwhelm all else. Do we really want
<replaceable> to be rendered that way? I'd think plain italic,
comparable to the rendering of <parameter>, would be more appropriate.

I could make this page use <parameter> for that purpose of course,
but it seems like semantically the wrong thing.
