Michael Kerrisk a1712680c4 man.7: Various fixes for description of NAME section 
As noted by reporter:
* The code sample given for the NAME section is incomplete because
  the actual content sample is not given.
* Additionally, the description assumes that the item described is
  a command, which need not be the case.
* The command makewhatis is not present on my system; the
  documented tool to create the whatis database is called mandb.
* The description on .SH NAME in man(7) should either copy the
  relevant paragraph of lexgrog(1) or refer to it.

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