The manSubHeading is defined as

This will, however, match more lines than I think is intended. It
will, for example, match the line
\t returns are what are recorded and compared with the data git keeps
where "\t" is a horizontal tabulation. I'm guessing that the actual
regex should be
^ \{3\}[a-z][a-z ]*[a-z]$
I hope nobody minds if I take this opportunity to ask a question about
vim's pattern matching.
After reading |pattern| I wonder if the following is more efficient:
syn match manSubHeading '^ \{3\}\l\l\?\l$'
Taken from |pattern|:
- Matching with a collection can be slow, because each character in
the text has to be compared with each character in the collection.
Use one of the other atoms above when possible. Example: "\d" is
much faster than "[0-9]" and matches the same characters
Do people find this to make a different for moderate file sizes, e.g.
the man page for 'less' being ~2000 lines?
