The tendency in English, as prescribed in style guides like
Chicago MoS, is towards removing hyphens after prefixes
like "non-" etc.

The POSIX timers API is implemented (mostly) within the kernel,
so thse interfaces are system calls.  Although there are as yet
no man pages, when they are added they should be in Section 2,
not 3.  Therefore fix those pages that currently refer to these
interfaces as being in Section 3.
