Actually I noticed a small issue with man page formatting,
which I addressed with the attached.

thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] doc: improve the numfmt man page format

* src/numfmt.c (usage): Keep a single space between the "K = 1000",
so that it's not displayed on a separate line.  Also place ','
between each unit entry to improve readability.
