It deletes a leading space in an example and fixes the abbreviation
cf. which is to my knowledge short for the Latin confer/conferatur,
i.e., only one word.

Thanks, I installed it on the emacs-28 branch.  (Please in the future
always check whether a documentation change is applicable for a
release branch, and submit a patch relative to that if so.)
