Hm, is it reliable? Not all dots specify an end of a sentence: there
are things like "e.g.", "i.e.", "etc.". Also there may be abbreviations
like "ATA S.M.A.R.T. reading and parsing library" (synopsis of
'libatasmart' package). Or even things like “<form> ... </form>”
(description of 'perl-html-form') — it should probably be wrapped in
@code{} by the way.
