The documented syntax for most GCC options that take magic keywords is
of the form @option{-ffoo=@var{magic}}, with the various literal values
for @var{magic} listed in the option description. There are a number,
though, that list the keyword choices in the syntax, but with two
different markup conventions. This patch changes the ones that wrap the
whole keyword list in @var, like -fvtable-verify, to use the same markup
convention as the others, like -Wsuggest-attribute, which use the
regular option/code font for the keywords but set off the syntactic
delimiters "[", "|", and "]" in Roman font.. @var is supposed to be for
metasyntactic variables and seems inappropriate for literal keywords, so
I think it's less correct than the other convention. Of course a third
possibility would be to rewrite all the option descriptions in this
class to use a metasyntactic variable instead of putting the keywords
inline, but that's more work and more prone to possible unintended changes.
I've checked this in under the "obvious fix" rule.
