Also, on macOS, man prints a warning that the page is invalidly formatted. But the garbledness happens on Linux as well, for example. Apparently, our custom table layout doesn't map properly to the man format. But for example, the earlier table "pgbench Automatic Variables", which doesn't use the custom table layout, looks fine. Anyone feel like looking into this further?

Can you post a screenshot of what it looks like? I just built the manpages
from HEAD on macOS and while they report the UNSUPP error the table itself
looks like I would expect it to.
